UNICEF rehabilitates medical centres in Libya’s floods-hit Derna
The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) said it has rehabilitated four primary medical centres in the eastern Libyan city of Derna, which was hit by deadly floods in 2023.
“UNICEF, in partnership with the International Medical Corps Libya, has completed the rehabilitation of water, sanitation, and hygiene facilities in four primary healthcare centres in Derna-Alfateeah, Albomba, Ras Alteen, and Lathron,” UNICEF said in a statement.
The statement said that upgrades, including the installation of doors, windows, electrical works, and light rehabilitation, have restored and enhanced essential services that were previously non-functional.
“Now, around 10,000 people, including 4,300 children, have access to improved facilities.
“This ensures better health outcomes and increased wellbeing within the community,” the statement noted.
In September 2023, Mediterranean storm Daniel triggered the largest and worst floods in Libya in decades.
Thousands of people were killed and missing, mostly in Derna.
