The administration of Mizda General Hospital in Libya has appealed to relevant authorities to provide essential medical supplies urgently. The hospital continues to receive cases affected by the floods that have been hitting the region. According to the hospital, a significant number of medical supplies have been depleted. The situation may worsen due to poor weather conditions, with warnings of further deterioration in the coming hours.
The hospital's administration emphasized that providing medical services and responding to emergency cases require the immediate provision of these supplies. Meanwhile, the hospital confirmed that it continues to work on treating those affected by the floods, albeit with limited capabilities. The hospital's efforts are hampered by damage caused by floodwaters, which have seeped into the hospital's premises and caused significant damage to medical sections.
The floods have resulted in injuries and cases of drowning being admitted to the hospital. The medical and healthcare staff have been working to receive and treat those affected. In a related development, the Mayor of Mizda, Jamal Al-Kabashi, reported that one person had died in the Wurshafana area due to the floods, while five others were injured, with three receiving treatment and two being transferred to Tripoli for further medical attention.
The floods have caused damage to citizens' homes, public facilities, schools, and mosques, as well as parts of roads and electricity networks. However, according to Al-Kabashi, the situation does not warrant declaring Mizda a "disaster zone." The Libyan authorities have been working to respond to the crisis, with the city's council declaring the area a "flood zone" and urging residents to take precautions.
The situation in Mizda is part of a broader crisis affecting several regions in Libya, with heavy rainfall and floods reported in various areas. The Libyan government has been working to respond to the crisis, with Prime Minister Abdul Hamid Al-Dabaiba pledging to follow up on the impact of the floods until services are restored in affected areas.
The floods have also had an impact on the local infrastructure, with reports of damaged roads, schools, and public facilities. The authorities have been working to assess the damage and provide assistance to those affected. In a statement, the Libyan Red Crescent reported that the situation in the city of Ghat had stabilized following heavy rainfall and floods.
The international community has been monitoring the situation in Libya, with the United Nations and other organizations expressing concern about the impact of the floods on the country's infrastructure and population. The Libyan government has been working to coordinate relief efforts and provide assistance to those affected by the crisis.
