Libya Elevates Emergency Response in Flood-Affected Regions

Libya Elevates Emergency Response in Flood-Affected Regions

The Minister of Health in the Libyan government appointed by the House of Representatives, Othman Abdel-Jalil, has issued directives to hospital directors in the southwestern region to elevate the state of emergency to its highest level.

This decision comes in response to the exceptional circumstances in the area, following the severe flooding that has affected the region.

The town of Tehala, located north of Ghat, was declared a disaster area by the local council after it was hit by floods, which led the Emergency and Ambulance Service to report the deaths of three children.

The Ghat Emergency Room has confirmed that, in addition to Tehala, the municipalities of Al-Barkat and Al-Awainat are also bracing for incoming floods from the Tasilly region.

The Prime Minister of the Libyan Government-designate Osama Hammad has issued a decree to establish an Emergency and Rapid Response Committee for the city of Ghat and its surrounding areas.

Hammad directed the committee to immediately move to the areas affected by recent floods, to implement all necessary precautionary and preventive measures, and to provide assistance to the affected families.

He also emphasised the importance of addressing the anticipated deteriorating weather conditions in the coming days.

The Emergency and Ambulance Services reported on Friday the tragic death of three children due to severe floods that have struck the Tehala region, located 60 kilometers from Ghat.

The service announced via its official Facebook page that efforts are ongoing to rescue elderly residents from the affected area. The floods have now reached the Tinkauya area in Al-Barkat.

Libya’s Interior Minister, Essam Abu Zeriba, appointed by the parliament-designated government, has directed the security directors of Sebha, Al-Shati, and Ubari, along with the central support branches in the southern region, to dispatch four-wheel-drive vehicles to Ghat, particularly to the Tehala area, to provide necessary support.

Mayor of Tehala, Ahmed Klikli, reported that the rainwater has completely inundated the neighborhoods, stressing the urgent need for blankets and tents as soon as possible.

This disaster follows the devastating impact of Cyclone Daniel, which swept through several regions in eastern Libya on September 10, leaving thousands dead and missing, alongside significant material damage.
