Sebha – A ministerial delegation led by Deputy Prime Minister Ahmed Houma conducted a field visit Tuesday to several areas and municipalities in southern Libya. The visit aimed to assess local conditions, address urgent needs, and identify obstacles facing public services. This follows Cabinet Decision No. 237 of 2026, which established a crisis committee to address challenges in the region.
The delegation included Minister of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs Atif Abdulwahid Al-Abidi, Minister of Local Government Sami Al-Dhawi, and Major General Jamal Al-Amami, head of the Urban Organization Committee. The group visited several locations and service facilities to directly evaluate the level of public services, prioritize needs, and determine the most urgent issues.
The tour began in Toyuwa, part of Qaraqrah municipality, which recently suffered damage from rain and flooding. Delegation members surveyed the area to assess the extent of the damage and identify the necessary interventions to support residents and restore local facilities.
The delegation then traveled to the Ibreik area to review conditions and further investigate key requirements as part of the crisis committee’s mission. They collected data on critical needs that require immediate attention, based on their field assessments.
The visit also included a stop at Al-Ghuraika Health Center, where officials looked into the facility’s conditions and the adequacy of provided services. They discussed the materials and resources needed to ensure smooth operations and prioritized these needs for further committee action.
The tour is part of ongoing government efforts to monitor the situation in southern Libya directly, especially in communities affected by recent weather events. The crisis committee is gathering information about damage and requirements on the ground, consulting with local residents, and preparing to relay findings to relevant authorities for appropriate action.
The committee’s work includes tracking service-related problems faced by municipalities, inventorying urgent needs, and coordinating with other agencies to implement necessary measures. These steps will help ensure that priorities are set accurately across affected areas.
The committee plans to continue its work in other southern municipalities, conducting further assessments and compiling comprehensive data about damages and requirements. The findings will guide future executive measures according to the priorities identified in these field visits.
This visit is part of broader government efforts to regularly review the needs of southern municipalities, particularly those related to public and health services. Assessments will continue in the coming period.
The committee also aims to streamline field assessment results and improve coordination between committee members and executive authorities. This process is designed to clarify responsibilities, track outstanding needs, and ensure that essential services—especially those directly affecting residents—continue without interruption. Follow-up on the committee’s recommendations will take place on-site in the next phase.
