The Gżira waterfront, which is a hub for restaurants and cafés, faced immediate disruption within minutes of the heavy downpour of rain this morning.

The rain caused significant flooding along the Gżira promenade, leaving the surrounding commercial area submerged in water. The heavy rainfall overwhelmed the drainage systems, transforming key roads into temporary rivers, affecting both local businesses and commuters.

The flooding serves as a reminder of the importance of addressing Malta’s infrastructure challenges, especially in commercial areas that are vital to the local economy.
