Disease outbreak in Libya could create ‘second devastating crisis’

The United Nations Support Mission in Libya has warned that an outbreak of disease in the country’s north east, where floods have killed more than 11,000 people, could create “a second devastating crisis”.
In a statement, the United Nations Support Mission in Libya said it was particularly concerned about water contamination and the lack of sanitation after two dams collapsed during Mediterranean storm Daniel sending a wall of water gushing through the eastern city of Derna a week ago.
