What Caused The Flood In Libya?
On Monday, Storm Daniel struck east Libya, resulting in the rupture of two dams along the Wadi Derna River. Millions of cubic metres of water have flowed downstream, impacting the city of Derna due to the flooding of the river plain.
It is estimated that 5,000 to 10,000 people might be missing. It has also been stated that reaching Derna has become difficult because of the damage. However, some aid has been provided to the people residing near Derna.
What Is Storm Daniel?
As Storm Daniel stalled in the Mediterranean Sea, causing severe floods in Central Greece, it intensified into a low-pressure system with characteristics resembling a tropical storm moving south. On Sunday afternoon (local time), it made landfall in Benghazi.
This calamity is termed a “Medicane,” a combination of Mediterranean and Hurricane. The powerful rainstorms resulted in severe flooding, leading to broken dams and deteriorated neighbourhoods.
