Emergency relief for Libya

After massive flooding put large parts of northern Libya under water, action medeor is providing emergency aid.

After the devastating earthquake in Morocco, we are now receiving shocking news from Libya: Violent floods have submerged the north of the country, washing away houses and roads and taking people with them. The full extent of the disaster is difficult to assess: The mayor of the port city of Darna, which was hit particularly hard, estimates at least 20,000 deaths there alone.

Together with local partners who are already on the ground, action medeor is now providing emergency aid. “Our many years of experience show that medicines, medical supplies, food, tents and blankets are now needed in large quantities”, Sid Peruvemba, spokesman for the board of action medeor, says.

action medeor has been working for local aid organizations in Libya for many years and we are now in close contact with them to help the people affected by the floods. We would be delighted if you would support our emergency aid in Libya with a donation, because help is urgently needed here too.

With your donation, you can help ensure that people in the flooded area are provided with the essentials.
