You have seen on the news the devastating flooding in eastern Libya. Vast amounts of floodwater have caused widespread destruction with up to 20,000 people feared to have died, thousands are still missing and over 30,000 people have been left homeless.
The scale and severity of this disaster is hard to comprehend. Those made homeless are sheltering together in school buildings, where they need blankets, mattresses, and solar lights. Many areas remain inaccessible because of significant damage to the road network, buildings, electricity, and communication lines.
Whilst assessments in Libya are carried out, we continue to move forward with our response planning in Morocco. Our team have arrived in Marrakesh and have met with Rotary contacts and local organisations. We have more team members ready to join them in the next few days.
We are committed to a response in Morocco, to support the communities left most vulnerable, providing we’re given relevant permissions to proceed.
While we carry out this vital work, we still urgently need your support. Your donation today will help people who have lost their homes to conflict and disaster around the world.
