The Deputy Minister of Local Governance in the Libyan Parliament-designated government, Abu Bakr Al-Zwei, initiated the distribution of the 10th batch of compensation for those affected by Storm Daniel.
On Wednesday, Al-Zwei provided vouchers to 500 families at the National Theater in Derna.
According to a statement, this action aligns with the directives of the Chairman of the High Committee for Emergencies and Rapid Response, Prime Minister Osama Hammad.
Al-Zwei noted that on Thursday, an additional 500 vouchers will be distributed. He emphasised that the delivery process will persist until completion for all families.
Earlier this week, the Speaker of the Libyan Parliament, Ageela Saleh held a meeting with Hamad to discuss the reconstruction efforts in the flood-affected area in eastern Libya.
Saleh was briefed on the activities of the Reconstruction and Stability Committee and the Fund for the Reconstruction of Derna and the affected areas.
The meeting was attended by the Chairman of the Reconstruction and Stability Committee, Hatem Al-Araibi, and the Executive Director of the Fund for the Reconstruction of Derna and the Affected Areas, Belgassem Haftar.
The meeting reviewed the progress of ongoing projects across the country, under the supervision of the Reconstruction and Stability Committee and the Fund for the Reconstruction of Derna.
The projects include the paving of main and secondary roads, the construction of bridges, lighting works, green spaces, and parks. As well as the maintenance and development of public housing buildings and government and non-governmental facilities.
On 10 September, a devastating storm swept through several eastern regions of Libya, notably the cities of Derna, Benghazi, Al-Bayda, Al-Marj, and Sousse. This resulted in significant destruction, and led to the loss of thousands of lives, injuries, and missing individuals.
