The situation goes from bad to worse in Libya, where unpublished floods have struck the east of the country, the city of Derna, particularly.
According to the official Libyan news agency, the results increased to more than 5,300 dead, while yesterday, there were 3,000 dead.
“There is no word to describe the biblical level of the suffering that people endure.” “We say mother nature, but it is the fact of man, it is the incompetence of the Libyan political elites,” accuses Anas El Gomati, a Libyan political scientist, citing the question of the maintenance of the dams.
While several international media have returned to this unprecedented catastrophe, the Italian newspaper Il Manifesto explains that what has just happened is the result of the “new Mediterranean climate” caused by global warming – characterized by “extreme” weather events, and which are hitting the full whip of the already “fragile” territories.
