Ir-Rabat, il-Mellieħa u s-Siġġiewi bl-akbar numru ta’ naħħala: anki Kemmuna hemm wieħed irreġistrat
Rabat has the highest number of registered ħnaħħala, the Maltese term for informal settlements, with 33 counted in the locality. Mellieħa follows with 32, and Sġġiewi has 30. In Gozo, Nadur leads with 19, while Kemmuna has one. The count covers both mainland Malta and Gozo, placing the housing problem well beyond a single town. A severe armyfly infestation during the summer of 2026 caused heavy losses among bee colonies. The falling colony numbers have intensified calls for national intervention.
