The devastating floods that recently hit the city of Ghat, south-west of Libya, left thousands of people homeless, caused power and communication breakdown, damaged houses and public infrastructure, and put the city on risk of health disaster due to the mixed sewage and rainwater.

With about €1 million funding from the EU under a resilience and recovery initiative implemented in partnership with UNICEF and the Italian Agency for Development Cooperation, and with €1.75 million from the Stabilization Facility for Libya, the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) will be able to help Ghat municipality assist flood-stricken people in getting access to health, food, water and environmental sanitation among other sectors.
