📋 Tender Overview
More than 2000 people in Libya have died and tens of thousands left without water, shelter, and sanitation in what is becoming an all too tragic series of climate-induced disasters around the world.
Over the past days, heavy rainfall from Storm Daniel has caused devastating floods, particularly in the northeast of the country. As of right now, authorities are reporting that more than 10,000 people are missing due to the ongoing crisis.
Critical infrastructure in the northeast of the country has been destroyed, cutting off those most impacted from the vital medical and food supplies they need to survive.
An Action For Humanity emergency response team is on their way to Derna in Libya, a city harshly affected by the flooding, where over 700 people have already been buried and more than 5,000 are reported missing. Once on location they will conduct a needs assessment to identify the areas of critical need and the most efficient mode of response.
What we do know is that the situation desperately needs to be stabilised by local authorities, NGOs, and the international community. At this moment, northeast Libya is in severe need of medical care and psychological support, food, medicine, water, and hygiene supplies.
From Othman Moqbel, Action For Humanity CEO:
“We at Action For Humanity are heartbroken to see the toll that this crisis is taking on the people of Libya. Action For Humanity are closely monitoring the situation as it evolves. We stand ready to provide a full response, allocating whatever resources are necessary to support the people of Libya as they recover from this tragedy.”
