Rebuilding Lives: Libya's Recovery from Devastating Floods

Devastating floods in the Libyan city of Derna have left thousands dead and missing, with over 900 buildings destroyed and 400 buried under mud. Corruption and lack of maintenance on dams exacerbated the disaster, while the effects of climate change contributed to the unusually heavy rainfall. The city has turned into a near ghost town, with many residents leaving for bigger cities. Mental health support is urgently needed as survivors grapple with trauma and the psychological aftermath of the floods.
