Libya flood death toll rises to over 11,000

The death toll from the recent floods in Libya has risen to over 11,000, according to the United Nations. The floods have also displaced hundreds of thousands of people and caused widespread damage to infrastructure. The floods were caused by heavy rains that began on August 25th. The rains quickly overwhelmed rivers and streams, causing widespread flooding in several cities and towns. The worst-hit areas were in the western part of the country, including the cities of Tripoli, Misrata, and Sabratha. The floods have had a devastating impact on the people of Libya. Many people have lost their homes and belongings, and many have been injured or killed. The floods have also disrupted essential services, such as electricity and water supply. The UN has launched an appeal for $181 million to help the people of

cope with the floods. The appeal will help to provide food, shelter, medical care, and other essential assistance to those affected by the floods. The Libyan government has also appealed for international assistance. The government has said that the floods have caused "unprecedented damage" to the country. The floods are a reminder of the vulnerability of Libya to climate change. Libya is a desert country, and it is particularly vulnerable to extreme weather events such as droughts and floods. The government of Libya needs to take steps to mitigate the effects of climate change and to build resilience to future disasters.
