The people of Libya are in urgent need of humanitarian assistance and recovery support. They need food, water, shelter, medicine, sanitation, and other basic necessities to survive and rebuild their lives. They also need long-term solutions to address the root causes of the floods, such as climate change, deforestation, poor infrastructure, and lack of disaster preparedness.
How Our Islamic Charity is Helping the Libya flood
This event is ended.
Libya is a country that has been devastated by the floods that occurred in 2023. The floods were caused by a powerful storm that brought record-breaking rainfall to the coastal regions of the country. The floods affected more than 10 million people, killed thousands, and damaged or destroyed millions of homes, crops, roads, bridges, and schools. The floods also disrupted the delivery of essential services such as health care, education, water, and sanitation.

How we provide temporary accommodation
One of the main challenges faced by the flood victims in Libya is finding a safe and comfortable place to stay. Many people have lost their homes or have been forced to evacuate due to the risk of further flooding or landslides.
Some people are living in overcrowded shelters or camps that lack adequate facilities and services. Others are staying with relatives or friends who may not have enough space or resources to accommodate them.
Our islamic charity is providing temporary accommodation for the flood victims in Libya through various means. Some of them are:
- We are building pod villages in different locations that can house up to 100 families each. These pod villages consist of prefabricated units that are equipped with beds, bathrooms, kitchens, and electricity. They also have communal areas such as mosques, schools, playgrounds, and health centers. These pod villages offer a dignified and comfortable living environment for the flood victims until they can return to their homes or find permanent housing.
- We are working with local authorities and partners to identify and secure suitable places that can meet the needs and preferences of the flood victims. We are also providing transportation and assistance for the flood victims to move to their temporary accommodation.
- We are distributing tents, blankets, mattresses, pillows, and other items that can help the flood victims create their own temporary shelter. We are also providing guidance and support for the flood victims on how to set up their tents safely and securely. We are also ensuring that the flood victims have access to clean water and sanitation facilities near their tents.
How we provide basic life and health care
Another major challenge faced by the flood victims in Libya is maintaining their health and well-being. The floods have increased the risk of water-borne diseases such as cholera, typhoid fever, hepatitis A, and diarrhea. The floods have also increased the risk of vector-borne diseases such as malaria, dengue fever, yellow fever, and leishmaniasis. The floods have also disrupted the health care system and reduced the availability of medicines and medical supplies.
Our islamic charity is providing basic life and health care for the flood victims in Libya through various means. Some of them are:
- We are distributing food parcels, water bottles, hygiene kits, and other items that can help the flood victims meet their nutritional and hygiene needs. We are also providing cooking utensils, stoves, fuel, and other items that can help the flood victims prepare their own food safely and hygienically.
- We are operating mobile clinics that can provide primary health care services such as consultations, examinations, treatments, vaccinations, referrals, and prescriptions. We are also operating ambulances that can transport the flood victims who need urgent or specialized care to nearby hospitals or health centers.
- We are conducting health education sessions that can raise awareness among the flood victims about how to prevent and treat common diseases such as diarrhea, malaria, dengue fever, etc. We are also distributing leaflets, posters, radio messages, and other materials that can provide useful information about how to protect one’s health in a flood situation.
