Building Collapse in Libyan Capital Leaves 7 Dead

November 8, 2024
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Late on Thursday night, a three-story residential building collapsed in Janzour, west of Tripoli, resulting in multiple fatalities and injuries. According to medical sources, rescue teams have so far recovered the bodies of seven individuals, including a child and a woman, and several injured individuals have been rescued from the site.

Efforts continue as search teams work to locate any survivors trapped beneath the rubble, with emergency teams on standby to transport the injured to hospitals for urgent treatment.

Eyewitnesses reported that the collapsed building was recently constructed, completed just four years ago.

Abdel-Hamid Dbaiba, Head of the Libyan outgoing Government of National Unity (GNU), visited the site late Thursday to oversee the rescue operations and provide support to the victims.

Dbaiba observed the rescue teams and medical personnel in action, emphasizing the government’s commitment to providing full care for those affected. He assured the continuation of rescue and relief operations until all individuals are accounted for.

Dbaiba further announced that he has instructed the Ministries of Interior and Justice to conduct an urgent investigation into the collapse and hold any responsible parties accountable.

Libya has been in chaos since a NATO-backed uprising toppled longtime leader Muammar Gaddafi in 2011. The county has for years been split between rival administrations.

Libya’s economy, heavily reliant on oil, has suffered due to the ongoing conflict. The instability has led to fluctuations in oil production and prices, impacting the global oil market and Libya’s economy.

The conflict has led to a significant humanitarian crisis in Libya, with thousands of people killed, and many more displaced. Migrants and refugees using Libya as a transit point to Europe have also faced dire conditions.

The planned elections for December 2021 were delayed due to disagreements over election laws and the eligibility of certain candidates. This delay has raised concerns about the feasibility of a peaceful political transition.

Despite the ceasefire, security remains a significant concern with sporadic fighting and the presence of mercenaries and foreign fighters. The unification of the military and the removal of foreign forces are crucial challenges.
