| Abstract: | Fl-1887 il-kolera laqtet lil Malta, u l-aktar milquta kienu Bormla, iż-Żejtun u Ħaż-Żabbar. F’Ħaż-Żabbar, in-nuqqas ta’ ilma nadif, toroq maħmuġa u djar iffullati wasslu biex il-marda tinfirex malajr. Kienu hemm 90 każ u 63 mewt, li ħallew ħafna familji fil-faqar u bla sostenn. Il-Gvern u l-Knisja ħadmu flimkien: nfetaħ sptar fir-raħal, tqassmu ikel u saru sforzi biex tinxtered il-fiduċja fil-mediċini. Minkejja l-biża’ u l-faqar, il-poplu wera kuraġġ u solidarjetà kbira. Meta waslet ix-xita f’Ottubru, l-epidemija waqfet u sal-14 ta’ Novembru Malta ġiet meqjusa ħielsa mill-kolera. F’Ħaż-Żabbar baqgħet mfakkra bħala sena ta’ niket, iżda wkoll ta’ fidi u għaqda. |
