PIETA', Malta, (di-ve news) -- August 25, 2005 -- 2015CEST -- All the organs of the 13-year-old girl, Graziella Fenech, who lost her life after three days battling for her life at the ITU in St. Luke's hospital will be donated after her parents have given their consent.

The girl's liver and heart will be sent to Italy since no match was found for them in Malta whilst her corneas and her kidneys will be donated to Maltese patients.

The 13-year-old was run over by a car driven by a 23-year-old man whilst she was crossing the road with her 17-year old second cousin, Amy Housely who died on the spot in the accident on Sunday.

Don't you have to be over 18 to be an organ donor?

i think its the next of kin who decide, irrespective of whether you have a donor card or not.

anyways, a tragic story really. must be awful to lose a 13 year old daughter. the parents ought to be applauded on their wise and altruistic decision.

condolences to this brave and wonderful maltese family.

Condolences to all her family. They should take comfort in the fact, that their little Princess, is no longer dead, because she lives in someone else. Like the Mythical Phoenix, she thriumpantly rose from the ashes. Her parents' benevolent decision, has erected a monument more lasting than Bronze.

J’Alla s-sofferenzi, it-tbatija u d-dulur li l-genituri ta’ Emma-Marie Housely, Marlene u Dave u ta’ Graziella Fenech, Carmen u John, ma jghaddi minnhom hadd. J’Alla l-Mulej ifittex jaghtihom il-farag u s-sabar lil dawn il-genituri li tant ghozzew lil uliedhom u kellhom jitilfuhom fl-aqwa ta’ hajjithom, fil-fjur ta’ zghozghithom bit-tragedja li sehhet nhar il-Hadd li ghadda, fi Triq is-Sebh f’Hal Qormi. It-telfa ta’ Emma-Marie u Graziella hasdet, ixxokkjat u ccassat mhux biss lil kull min kien jafhom u lil familthom, izda lil Hal Qormi kollu. Is-soghba ghal dak li gara dehret u tidher fuq wicc kulhadd minn dak inhar ta’ l-incident ‘l hawn. Il-qsim il-qalb tal-Qriema deher fl-aqwa tieghu matul ic-celebrazzjoni tal-quddiesa li ma tintesa qatt li saret fil-Knisja Parrokjali ta’ San Gorg f’Hal Qormi, bhala tislima lill-ghaziza Emma-Marie. Zgur, mhux forsi li se jerga jkollna replika tal-qsim il-qalb fit-tislima li ghad irridu naghtu lill-ghaziza Graziella.

Izda din it-tragedja mhux biss nisslet soghba fi qlub il-Qriema, izda nisslet ukoll sens ta’ rabja ghal certi sitwazzjonijiet li l-awtoritajiet gabu lil Hal-Qormi fih, ghax ma sarux il-pjani biex is-sahha u s-sigurtà tan-nies tigi mharsa u meqjusa bi prijorità kif suppost. Tragedja bhal din u ohrajn li sehhew f’din l-istess triq, jistghu facilment jigu evitati, li kieku, l-izvilupp urban ta’ pajjizna kien u qieghed isir bis-sens u bi hsieb.

Xi whud minn dawk li ma jafux iz-zona tajjeb fejn sehhet it-tragedja, facli jirrimarkaw dwar x’fettilhom jaqsmu minn hemm! Izda min jaf iz-zona tajjeb jaf li n-nies residenti fl-area maghrufa bhala Tal-Blat II f’Hal Qormi u l-haddiema li jahdmu f’din iz-zona industrijali u li jkunu jridu jmorru lejn ic-centru ta’ Hal Qormi, m’ghandhom imkien minn fejn jaqsmu b’mod sigur. Anke l-aktar parti dejqa tat-triq li tigi fi Triq il-Mithna ma toffrix sigurtà lil dawk li jkunu jridu jaqsmu, ghax iridu jaqsmu minn ma’ roundabout fejn jigu fuqek karozzi minn kull naha. Dawk kollha li jghixu fiz-zona ta’ Tal-Blat II iridu ghal kull servizz jaqsmu ghal Hal Qormi jew b’saqajhom jew bil-karozzi privati taghhom, ghax m’hemm l-ebda facilita’ ghas-servizzi mehtiega ta’ kuljum. Ma jezisti l-ebda tip ta’ hanut jew facilità sportiva jew rikreattiva ghat-tfal u ghaz-zghazagh li jghixu hemm. Ghaldaqstant dawk li jghixu hemm, ikollhom jaqsmu ghac-centru ta’ Hal Qormi mhux sempliciment ghal xi mawra jew zjara lill-qraba, kif fuq kollox ghandhhom dritt li jaghmlu, izda wkoll ghax huwa bzonn akut!

Triq is-Sebh hija wahda mill-izviluppi relattivament godda li prattikament firdet komunità shiha li qabel kienet parti intrinsika minn Hal Qormi, minghajr ma gie ppjanat xejn biex din il-kommunità tibqa’ thossha integrata u moqdija fil-komunità taghha. Zgur li dan mhux l-aqwa u l-ahjar mod ta’ kif jitwettaq l-izvilupp urban f’pajjizna! Din it-Triq mill-ewwel uriet id-difetti li ghandha. Ma kinitx ilha wisq li nfethet li ma sehhitx l-ewwel tragedja! Tragedja ta’ tfajla ohra Qormija li kienet tahdem f’din iz-zona u li biex tmur kemm lejn il-post tax-xoghol kif ukoll lura lejn id-dar kien ikollha taqsam ta’ kuljum min-naha ghall-ohra. Minn dak iz-zmien sal-lum din it-triq belghet numru ta’ hajjiet, izda sfortunatament quddiem dan kollu l-awtoritajiet matul is-snin ma ccaqilqu qatt! Ma taw kaz qatt ghajr ghat-twahhil ta’ ftit tabelli fejn jigbdu l-attenzjoni tas-sewwieqa biex innaqsu l-ispeed. Ma sar xejn biex jigu moqdija n-nies li jkollhom jaqsmu b’saqajhom biex imorru fic-centru tar-rahal taghhom.

Mhux talli ma sar xejn biex is-sahha u s-sigurtà tan-nies tkun ta’ prijorità talli sfortunatament aktar ’il isfel f’din it-triq, jigifieri aktar lejn in-naha tal-Marsa fejn hemm ghadd kbir ta’ hwienet u negozji, minkejja t-talbiet bla waqfien li saru biex l-awtoritajiet governattivi jaghmlu xi sistema ta’ kif in-nies jaqsmu b ‘mod sigur kemm lejn Hal Qormi, kif ukoll lejn Santa Venera, l-awtoritajiet deherilhom li jinjoraw dawn it-talbiet u jkomplu jaqsmu it-triq b’hadid li jaghmilha aktar difficli biex wiehed jaqsam it-triq b’mod sigur. Zgur li se jkun hemm min jghid li hemm mina! Però tajjeb li kulhadd ikun jaf, li din il-mina, apparti li tinsab fuq it-tarf tal-kommunitajiet li jghixu f’din iz-zona, wara certu hin jaqa’ dlam cappa fiha tant li mhux l-ewwel darba gew irrapportati abbuzi. Fix-xita timtela bl-ilma u mhix accessibli ghal dawk li ghandhom problema ta’ mobbilità minhabba t-tarag.

Illum il-gurnata hemm diversi mezzi u facilitajiet li jistghu jigu nstallati u mibnija dawn it-toroq isiru siguri. Zgur li l-awtoritajiet governattivi jafu b’dan. F’toroq ohra ewlenin, bhal fil-Marsa, ittiehdu dawn il-prekawzzjonijiet, kif suppost. Personalment ma nghoddx kemm ’il darba ressaqt dawn id-diffikultajiet. Fuq kollox però, nippretendu li min jippjana kemm l-izvilupp urban kif ukoll is-sistema ta’ toroq f’pajjizna ghandu jkollu l-hila biex iqis l-aspetti kollha socjali. Ghandu jkun ippjanat mhux biss li jkollna sistema ta’ kommunikazzjoni ahjar fit-toroq ghall- karozzi, izda fuq kollox li t-toroq taghna ikollhom bhala prijorità s-sigurtà tan-nies.

L-Arcipriet tal-Parrocca ta’ Hal Qormi San Gorg, Dun Anton, f’omelija mill-isbah li ghamel fl-ahhar tislima lil Emma-Marie, nhar it-Tlieta li ghaddew, qal li din kienet tragedja, izda tkun tragedja akbar jekk inhalluha tghaddi minghajr ma nitghallmu minnha. Dun Anton kien qieghed jitkellem bl-aktar mod meqjus f’sens spiritwali, izda kliemu nixtieq li nuzah biex nappella lill-awtoritajiet tal-Gvern biex b’mod immedjat jiehdu l-azzjonijiet mehtiega. Halli r-residenti u l-haddiema f’Tal-Blat II u dawk fl-area ta’ Triq il-Kanun, jigu moghtija l-facilitajiet necessarji biex ikollhom sahhithom u hajjithom imharsa kif jixraq.

Ghaldaqstant nappella biex jittiehdu l-azzjonijiet mehtiega biex dawn it-toroq ma jibqghux jibilghu il-hajjiet! Tinhtieg azzjoni immedjata halli nipprevedu tragedji li bhalissa hemm riskji serji li jkunu inevitabbli minhabba n-nuqqas ta’ ippjanar kif jixraq.

Fl-ahharnett irrid insellem lil gheziez taghna Emma-Marie u Graziella li hallewlna vojt kbir u fuq kollox lill-genituri taghhom, u nghidilhom li hija difficli biex isibu l-farag f’dawn l-aghar mumenti f’hajjithom, izda l-Mulej huwa kbir u jaghmel hwejjeg kbar. Sadanitant lilna lkoll, genituri bhalhom, qeghdin jghallmuna bid-dulur taghhom, li m’hawn xejn awqa minn uliedna!
