Flooding in Libya
Severe flooding affected the coastal city of Zliten, in Libya, as well as the town of Bir Al Ghanem.
The flooding was the result of rising ground water levels in this area. The phenomenon has been ongoing for several years, but increased with water levels reaching as high as 1.5 m in some locations.
Low-lying houses were flooded and around 70-80 families were evacuated.
The government declared a state of emergency to respond to the crisis, and international experts were called on to investigate the cause.
