The National Meteorological Center has issued a warning about potential floods and streamflows originating from the Algerian mountainous regions of Tassili and Janett towards Libyan territories. According to a statement published on Facebook, the center has advised caution, particularly near riverbeds, due to the expected conditions.

The meteorological alert highlighted an increase in thunderclouds, particularly in the afternoon on Wednesday over the areas of Ghat, Al Barkat, Al Awaynat, and Tahala. These conditions are expected to bring sporadic to heavy rainfall at times across the border regions with Algeria.

The weather warning for Wednesday indicates the accumulation of thunderclouds over Ghat and its surrounding areas, accompanied by significant to heavy rainfall at times, posing potential flooding risks.

On August 30, the Ambulance and Emergency Service in Bani Walid announced in the early hours of Friday the rescue of families stranded due to floods that engulfed the central region of Washtata. The number of families was not specified, but the service noted in a brief statement that “emergency teams managed to rescue and evacuate a large number of families stranded in the middle of Washtata area.”

Floodwaters submerged the streets of the Bani Walid municipality, and Mohamed Abul Niran, head of the Ambulance and Emergency Service, confirmed that the agency had set up several stationary and mobile ambulance points along the road linking Washtata Valley and Dinar Valley north of Bani Walid.

Earlier, the Libyan government announced the launch of a major operation to reopen key roads in the southwestern regions that have been severely impacted by recent floods. This critical effort, overseen by the Emergency and Rapid Response Committee, was established by Prime Minister Osama Hammad and is led by Deputy Prime Minister Salem Al-Zadma.

The government’s swift action aims to remove debris and clear blocked roads, restoring vital transportation routes that have been disrupted by the floods. The severe weather has not only isolated communities but also hindered the delivery of essential services, making the reopening of these roads a top priority for the affected regions.
