Happy Holidays and Giving Tuesday/ Support People in Libya Catastrophic Flood
/ OPULENT PHILANTHROPY INCMore than 5,000 people are presumed dead and 10,000 missing after heavy rains in northeastern Libya caused two dams to collapse, surging more water into already inundated areas. Of those who were killed, at least 145 were Egyptian, officials in the northeastern city of Tobruk, in Libya, said on Tuesday. In the eastern city of Derna, which has seen the worst of the devastation, as many as 6,000 people remain missing. Whole neighborhoods are believed to have been washed away in the city. Hospitals in Derna are no longer operable, and the morgues are full. Dead bodies have been left outside the morgues on the sidewalks. There are no first-hand emergency services. People are working at the moment to collect the rotting bodies. The collapse of two dams, which sent water rushing towards Derna, has caused catastrophic damage. Three bridges were destroyed. The flowing water carried away entire neighborhoods, eventually depositing them into the sea. Homes in valleys were washed away by strong muddy currents carrying vehicles and debris. Phone lines in the city are down, complicating rescue efforts, with workers unable to enter Derna due to the heavy destruction.
