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. As of September 14, 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 United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) helps provide life-saving assistance to people affected by the floods in Libya. Project activities include: (1) procuring and distributing water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) supplies; (2) providing emergency sanitation and water trucking services; (3) providing mental health and psychosocial services (MHPSS); and (4) distributing dignity kits and providing emergency protection services.
