Members of the Civil Protection Department, the Armed Forces of Malta and the Malta Red Cross are involved in an operation to rescue two canoeists who are trapped in a cave in Mellieha.
A CPD official has confirmed that two persons had paddled into a cave near l-Ahrax and got trapped inside. A CPD rescue boat was sent to assist but the rescue attempt was unsuccessful. A rescue attempt by members of the Red Cross was also unsuccessful.
In the meantime the Armed Forces of Malta were asked to help and another rescue attempt (from the ground) by CPD firefighters is under way.
