An April IOM report suggests over 200,000 migrants in the Eastern area of Libya. Many were clustered around Derna & surrounding coastline. The numbers lost can never be accurately measured. There is no register. They mostly have no families near to report them missing. So tragic
Now is not the time for assigning blame or pointing accusing fingers.The absolute, overriding focus must be care & protection of our people. But there will be an accounting.Those whose greed & incompetence betrayed the safety of our people must all be identified & held to account
As the flood waters recede, a further nightmare threatens with the very real danger of a cholera epidemic. The Red Crescent are doing wonderful work, and some of our international friends have been generous and heoic, but the Libyan people still face unprecedented horror.
Whatever deathtoll numbers you read for Derna and surrounding areas, the truth will be even worse. No-one has a record of the migrant thousands - tens of thousands - gathered there and along the Eastern shoreline. And now we must brace for disease and death from contamination
I have to say this Libya flooding is one of the worst incidents I’ve ever covered in my career and I’ve been covering wars and natural disasters for nearly 11 years.

Deeply distressing interview by @JOHRALI on #radio4today conveying the full horror of the situation in Derna & surrounding areas, where whole families & neighbourhoods have been killed by the floods. He said that only Turkish rescue teams present and that time is of the essence

Libya has just experienced the deadliest flood of the 21st Century, with 7,000 confirmed dead. In the city of Derna, home to 90,000 people, up to 20,000 are feared dead. 25% of the city is estimated to be destroyed after two dams collapsed due to extreme rainfall. Imagery via…
Giving a small glimpse to the world of what the situation is like in Derna through RT.
Very glad this story is out in the wider world. In Libya Derna is known as a town of poets and one of them - Mustafa Al-Trabelsi - warned of its terrible vulnerability to floods in a poem & cultural event days before the disaster. He died in the deluge. theguardian.com/world/2023/sep…
Massive distrust & anger in the streets of Libya directed at the political leadership of both governments. Everywhere, growing demand for international investigation and intervention. Determination that cover-up by the political kleptocracy cannot this time be allowed to succeed.

Difficult but necessary reading by @washingtonpost team, which hasn’t moved on from the #Derna tragedy like many in the intl community. The multilayered failures demonstrate how grave #Libya’s polical chaos is for the population.
In the Libyan city of Derna, thousands of residents felt safe on the night of Sept 10 as they obeyed orders to shelter in place from the storm, or evacuate deeper inland. Our story on the negligence, corruption + incompetence that condemned them to death. washingtonpost.com/world/2023/10/…

"Libyans... have had enough. They want an international inquiry into the disaster and the response... political elites have enjoyed complete impunity for the last decade – not even having to justify failures and crimes." theguardian.com/world/commenti…
@moinkikhia International Community should be serious with what has happened in #DernaFlood. They've to adopt another solution rather than current legislation associations. They've let us down by their own benefits. #LibyaFloods
Otrage in #Derna by Libyan citizens is symptomatic of frequent popular protests dating back to the ouster of Qaddafi 2011. The question has always been whether these brave voices will be heard and magnified or repressed by those with guns and money.
Thousands of #Derna's residents, joined by civilian volunteers, all defiantly gather at Sahaba Square to voice their demands after the floods. These encompass: ousting HoR's Agila Saleh & his nephew (mayor), & expediting the city's reconstruction via international companies.
@moinkikhia We need to work on a referendum to be agreed by all Libyans against the current governments in Easter and western regions and the southern part Fezan, I think Libyans are ready but we need more coordination to do it, can we ask other people to support the idea, what do you think
Libya and Libyans will no longer stay or be the same after this. It’s not something that people can simply recover from or move on. This will forever be marked in the Libyan memory with an agonizing and a heart wrenching feeling remembering that people could’ve been saved.
If you’re looking to help people impacted by the floods in Libya, check out these organizations providing relief:
🧵Emergency and relief workers are on the ground providing urgent aid in the aftermath of the catastrophic flash floods in northeast Libya. The toll of this natural disaster is unimaginable, and support is desperately needed.
@el_khawaga The problem isn't lack of knowledge, it's about neglect , poor governance and corruption.
