Thousands of people who have died in Libya’s devastating floods could have been saved had early warning and emergency management systems functioned properly, the United Nations said today.
Petteri Taalas, head of the UN’s World Meteorological Organization (WMO), said that with better coordination, authorities ‘could have avoided most of the human casualties'.
At least 5,100 people are known to have died and 15,000 are missing after floods swept through the city of Derna on Sunday, according to latest figures from Libyan officials. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12517903/libya-floods-lives-lost-saved-early-warning-systems-un.html
