Libya floods

WHO needs assessment mission inspecting the damages caused by the floods to residential and health facilities in the city of Derna

On Sunday 10 September 2023, Tropical Storm Daniel caused Libya's deadliest flooding for over a century. Affected areas experienced strong winds and heavy rainfall, leading to the collapse of two dams and subsequent catastrophic flooding, which destroyed homes, hospitals, roads and power lines. Thousands of people have been reported dead and thousands more are missing.

WHO is at the forefront of the response, working closely with the local health authorities to ensure that essential health services, medical supplies and care are delivered to affected people, the functionality of health facilities is restored, and disease surveillance and infectious disease control are reinforced, especially for the tens of thousands of people who have been displaced by the crisis.
