Description:

September 2023 – On September 10, Storm Daniel hit northeastern Libya with heavy rains and flash floods, affecting various cities, including Al Marj, Benghazi, and Derna. The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) indicates that 884,000 people need humanitarian assistance. Several factors influence and exacerbate the severity of humanitarian needs, including pre-existing conditions, deteriorating socio-economic situations, and logistical and access constraints to certain areas. Before the storm, 300,000 people in Libya were assessed to require humanitarian assistance, according to the 2023 Humanitarian Overview. With GAC’s support, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) helps provide humanitarian, multi-sectoral and life-saving assistance in response to the floods in Libya. Project activities include: (1) deploying medical teams and mobile clinics to provide emergency health services; (2) procuring and distributing medical supplies, medicines, and equipment; (3) distributing essential non-food items and shelter kits; and (4) setting up collective shelters.
