September 14, 2023 -
Libyen hat um internationale Hilfe gebeten, nachdem eine zerstörende
Flutwelle tausende Menschen getötet hat und noch viele mehr vermisst werden. Zehntausende sind auf der Flucht aus dem Katastrophengebiet.
International aid has started arriving to eastern Libya after a devastating flood killed thousands of people, with many still missing. Tens of thousands have been displaced.
Planes carrying aid have landed in Libya, including from Egypt, Turkey and Algeria. The Tripoli Libyan government said Wednesday aid has arrived from France, Italy, Jordan, Kuwait, Qatar, Spain, and the UAE.
The two rival governments in Libya are co-ordinating relief efforts for flood victims, the UN has said.
More than 5,300 people died after two dam bursts brought devastating floods to the eastern city of Derna.
