Storm Daniel in Libya

Story

A powerful storm has triggered devastating flooding in Libya. At least 3,000 people have lost their lives so far, with fears that the death toll will continue to rise.

Thousands of people are missing, and the country is in a state of extreme emergency. At least 150 homes have been destroyed so far, leaving many families highly vulnerable.

The eastern cities of Benghazi, Sousse, Derna and Al-Marj have all been affected. There has been extensive damage to the infrastructure with roads and bridges destroyed. Schools and shops have been ordered to close.

The city of Derna is home to approximately 100,000 people – where reportedly two dams have collapsed, submerging much of the area and drowning some residents.

Islamic Relief’s response

Islamic Relief is closely monitoring the situation and will be partnering with local humanitarian organisations to deliver aid to affected communities.
