Malta among countries not contributing to UN fund for future disasters



Malta has only contributed €10,000 (once in 2007) to a fund set up by the United Nations in 2004 after the Indian Ocean Tsunami on Boxing Day in 2004. The fund has been hit hard by a wave of natural disasters this year - the tsunami in Japan; an earthquake in New Zealand; famine in the Horn of Africa; and floods in Pakistan and the Philippines.
