Devastating Floods Slam Libya

On Monday, September 11, heavy rainfall brought by Storm Daniel caused two dams to burst in the Libyan city of Derna, causing major flooding that has left over 11,300 dead and another 10,100 missing. Tens of thousands of people have been displaced and the damage is so severe that there is no prospect of going back home. Entire neighborhoods and buildings were swept away.

On Tuesday, September 12, Islamic Relief launched an emergency response and is working with local partners on the ground to provide emergency relief including food and non-food items (NFIs) in Libya. Donate to IRUSA’s Global Emergency Fund to provide emergency relief for survivors of the floods in Libya.

Focus on Supporting Survivors

Islamic Relief’s global family and partnerships—including local staff in more than three dozen countries—maximize IRUSA’s ability to respond to urgent situations with speed and efficiency. We also maintain the highest standards of best practices, dignity, and cultural sensitivity, and we make sure that our response aligns with survivors’ needs immediately, for the longer-term, or both!

IRUSA’s emergency aid efforts can include distribution of items such as food, water, financial aid, and more. Construction of temporary shelters and providing vital medical aid are often priorities too. And when applicable, we work with community groups on the ground to assess what we can do to help with longer-term recovery, rebuilding, and revitalization efforts.

I Need YOUR Help

Thanks to you, we’ve been able to accomplish so much. But there’s still so much more to do. By continuing to support our efforts in the Middle East, you can help make a difference in the lives of those in desperate need.
