The Libyan Red Crescent said on the 14th that the number of victims in the city of Derna has risen to 11,300, and more than 10,000 people are missing. The local emergency and emergency center declared on the same day that the city of Derna had entered the highest level of emergency. The source of all this can be traced back to September 4, when a storm formed over Greece and swept through central Greece, bringing a lot of precipitation and causing flooding. As it descended south to the Mediterranean, the storm evolved into Mediterranean Hurricane Daniel and made landfall in Libya, bringing flooding that caused two dams upstream of the city of Derna to burst.
The disaster situation in the city of Derna continues to intensify, and the unaccompanied people have to face great difficulties. The floods plunged the city into chaos. Buildings were flooded, roads washed away, communications were cut off, people fled, and the city of Derna was instantly reduced to rubble.
The number of people killed in Derna has reached a staggering 11,300, and that's just an estimate after the storm. Even more worrisome is the fact that more than 10,000 people have disappeared, and their whereabouts have become the focus of the search. Are these missing people unfortunately swept away by the flood? Or buried under the rubble? The answers to these questions will only be given in time.
In the face of this unprecedented disaster, the local government and relief agencies have taken action to save more lives. The emergency and emergency centre in the city of Derna declared a state of emergency at the highest level and made every effort to organize rescue efforts. Rescue teams and volunteers flocked to Derna from all over the place, helping people in the disaster area at all costs.
However, the rescue effort did not go well. The damage caused by the floods has made rescue and rescue extremely difficult. The destruction of roads and bridges made it difficult for rescue teams to enter the disaster area, and communication was cut off, leaving rescuers out of contact with the outside world. All of this adds countless challenges to the rescue effort.
In addition, the people in the affected areas are also facing serious difficulties. Deprived of their homes, they face even greater pressure to survive. However, the delivery of relief supplies has also encountered difficulties, and the disruption of supply chains has prevented supplies from reaching the disaster areas in time, exacerbating the suffering of the population.
In the face of all this, we cannot sit idly by. As a member of the entire international community, we should extend a helping hand and give more help to the victims in the city of Derna. We can provide emergency relief to the victims in Derna through donations and material support. In addition, international organizations should also step up their efforts to rescue Drerna and provide more assistance.
More importantly, we need to recognize the threat posed by climate change. This storm and flood are a direct result of climate change, and we must take action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, protect the environment, and avoid similar disasters.
Let us unite and dedicate our love and strength to the victims of the disaster in the city of Derna. Let us act together to rebuild their homes and restore hope. Let us not forget our original intention and bring warmth and hope to the people in the disaster area with practical actions!
