Navigating the aftermath: Libya's dual challenges of floods and landmines

Survivors of the devastating floods in Libya's eastern city of Derna are faced with the difficult choice of staying and risking infection from polluted water or fleeing through areas where landmines have been displaced by the floods. The death toll remains uncertain, with conflicting figures from different sources, but thousands are believed to have died. Aid organizations have provided emergency assistance, but more help is needed. The floods have also displaced over 40,000 people and shifted landmines, posing an additional risk. The disaster has brought some coordination between rival administrations in the east and west of Libya, but reconstruction efforts may reopen fault-lines.
