UN Special Envoy to Libya, Abdoulaye Bathily, met in Benghazi yesterday with several families who have been displaced by floods that swept parts of the country’s eastern region earlier this month.
Bathily expressed his condolences to the bereaved families and “heard their harrowing stories from the night of the floods,” said the UN diplomat via X.
“I assured them that the UN will continue to advocate for the reconstruction of the devastated communities and for the return to normal life,” he added.
The families took temporary shelter in Talaie Al-Nasr School in Sidi Khalifa (20 Km east of Benghazi) after the floods devastated their homes on September 10.
