Tripoli University Suspends Exams Due to Rainfall
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

The University of Tripoli has announced the suspension of all classes and exams scheduled for Saturday due to adverse weather conditions.

In a statement, the university emphasised that the decision was made to prioritise the safety of students, faculty, and staff amid heavy rains and strong winds impacting the region.

The announcement comes as severe weather continues to affect various parts of Libya, causing disruptions and flooding in many areas. The university reassured students that new dates for exams and classes would be announced in due course.

This precautionary measure underscores the growing challenges posed by extreme weather events in Libya, further emphasising the need for resilience and preparedness in education and other sectors.

The emergency team of the Libyan Red Crescent’s Al Zawiya branch continues to evacuate families stranded in the city due to floods caused by torrential rains.

In a statement, the Red Crescent emphasised that the Al Zawiya branch’s emergency team, along with the Abu Surra division, is actively engaged in rescuing affected families. They urged residents to report emergencies and request assistance via dedicated hotline numbers.

Mohamed Ismail, Chairman of the Public Services Company, stated earlier that the city’s drainage and sewage systems were unable to handle the unprecedented rainfall recorded on Thursday.

The heavy rains impacted Tripoli and other Libyan cities, flooding main roads and streets, causing severe disruptions.

The Libyan Red Crescent’s timely response highlights the urgent need for improved infrastructure and emergency preparedness to combat the increasing frequency of extreme weather events in Libya.

Libya has been struggling with severe weather conditions since Thursday, as heavy rainfall caused significant flooding in several major cities.

The torrential downpours led to rising water levels that submerged key roads, crippling traffic and creating chaos in the streets. The country is bracing for another round of storms in the coming hours, with experts predicting further disruptions.

Footage and photos shared on social media have shown the extent of the damage in cities like Tripoli, Zawiya, and Benghazi, where streets were completely flooded. Vehicles were trapped in the rising waters, and many citizens were stranded on the roads. The floods also inundated shops and homes, leaving residents struggling to cope with the aftermath.
