Chairman of Libya’s High National Elections Commission (HNEC), Imad Al-Sayeh, met on Saturday with Head of the Electoral Administration Office in Derna, Abdullah Al-Shairi, to discuss building a new office for the commission in the city.
HNEC’s old office was destroyed during the devastating floods that swept Derna on September 10.
The massive flash flood that has left over 4000 dead and thousands missing came as eastern Libya was lashed by the hurricane-strength Storm Daniel.
The storm affected several cities, including Benghazi, Bayda, Al Marj, and Soussa, resulting in massive destruction of infrastructure and a significant loss of life.
Derna was hardest hit by the deadly flooding, causing the city’s dams to burst, washing away homes and people.
