In a statement, the Health Ministry said one of the Libyan patients who was receiving treatment succumbed to his injuries earlier this afternoon. The patient had been critically injured and brought to Malta last Tuesday.

Two others have been reported as doing well and will be transferred to St James Hospital (Capua).

The rest of the patients are still in critical condition.

Three patients who were receiving treatment at St James Hospital have been discharged, while two others were discharged last week. The five patients had all been suffering from serious wounds.
