UK Provides Medical Aid to Flood-Affected Cities in Libya
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

In response to the aftermath of Storm Daniel, the British Embassy in Libya has taken a significant step forward by delivering £140,000 worth of medical equipment to the flood-ravaged communities in Eastern Libya. This initiative reflects the UK’s support for Libya during its dire need for relief and recovery from the devastating floods.

The medical supplies, funded by the UK, have arrived in Benghazi and are ready for distribution to the areas severely affected by Storm Daniel. This aid package includes 5 cardiac resuscitation devices, 7 ultrasound machines, and 25 stethoscopes, showcasing the UK’s targeted response to the urgent healthcare needs triggered by the disaster.

The UK’s contributions to the UN response rank second globally, supporting three clinics and aiding approximately 500 patients, alongside the provision of 55 tonnes of relief materials and $5 million in post-disaster aid.

This contribution underscores the UK’s commitment to assisting in the immediate healthcare response and longer-term recovery efforts of Libyan communities affected by the natural disaster. By strengthening local medical services with essential equipment, the UK contributes to improving the affected regions’ capacity to manage health crises precipitated by the flooding.

On September 10, a devastating storm swept through several eastern regions of Libya, notably impacting the cities of Derna, Benghazi, Al-Bayda, Al-Marj, and Sousse. This resulted in significant destruction, causing the loss of thousands of lives, injuries, and missing individuals.

The collapse has affected approximately 1.5 million people, constituting 22% of Libya’s population, highlighting the critical challenge of “limited accountability and capacity” within Libyan institutions.

The report also underscores the detrimental effects of “weak coordination” between competing authorities on the government’s ability to effectively manage recovery efforts.
