Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi expressed the country’s readiness to provide medical aid for Libya in the wake of a massive flood that ripped through the North African nation.
In a message to Prime Minister of Libya’s Government of National Unity (GNU) Abdul Hamid Dbeibah on Tuesday, Raisi offered condolences to the Muslim nation on the devastating flood fatalities.
Expressing sympathy with the Libyan government, nation and families of victims of the natural disaster, Raisi said Iran is prepared to provide relief aid to the Libyan people in the flood-hit areas and dispatch consignments of medical and pharmaceutical aids and other needed commodities to the African country.
He also expressed hope that the efforts by the government of Libya and cooperation from its patient people would result in the immediate normalization of the situation in that country.
Up to 3,000 people have died and 10,000 are missing in the massive floods that have overwhelmed parts of eastern Libya.
Libya’s Red Crescent spokesman Taqfiq Shukri said on Tuesday that there are 2,084 people confirmed dead, while IFRC head Tamer Ramadan said, “The number of missing people is hitting 10,000 so far.”
Some 20,000 people have been displaced, according to estimates. Libya’s eastern administration, based in Benghazi, estimates that 3,000 people are dead.
In the capital Tripoli, Prime Minister Dbeibah announced on Tuesday that an aid plane carrying 14 tonnes of supplies and medical personnel is headed to Benghazi to help, although there are still difficulties entering the hardest-hit city of Derna.
