Gale-force winds, hailstorm batter Malta

Photo take on Feb. 24, 2019 shows strong waves at Xemxija bay of St. Paul's Bay, Malta. Severe weather starting on Saturday afternoon battered Malta as rain and strong winds whipped across this Mediterranean island, leaving a trail of destruction in its wake. Because of the bad weather, hundreds of fish have been washed ashore at Xemxija bay. (Xinhua/Steve Zammit Lupi)
