It was previously reported that about 8 thousand people died as a result of floods and rainfall in this part of Libya.

According to the Red Crescent, at least 2 thousand bodies of the dead were washed away by the flood into the Mediterranean Sea. In addition, the public fears that as a result of the rains, a lot of unexploded ammunition and mines were washed out of the ground and transferred to the coast, which creates additional danger for residents of the north-eastern regions, as well as for rescue teams searching for the bodies of those killed under the rubble of collapsed houses and in coastal waters.
