Following the destructive aftermath of the “Daniel” storm in Eastern Libya, Georgette Gagnon, the United Nations’ Humanitarian Coordinator in the region, has signaled the dispatch of an emergency unit. The storm led to significant infrastructure damage, loss of life, and flooding across multiple areas, especially in the Green Mountain region.
Via the “X” platform, Gagnon voiced her profound distress about the calamity and the devastation it brought. Meanwhile, the UN’s leading representative in Libya, Abdullah Batteli, rallied behind Gagnon’s sentiments, emphasizing the United Nations’ full support to the affected communities.
In response to the catastrophe, national authorities have instated a three-day mourning period, symbolized by flags at half-mast throughout the nation, acknowledging the ongoing trials faced by eastern Libyan regions due to the relentless storm.
