Human impact

• The confirmed death toll is over 20,350 deaths with more than 8,000 people reported missing.

• Libyans lost their source of livelihood.
• An estimated total of 44,800 people were displaced
• Major highways, roads, neighborhoods and bridges all washed away.

• Repairing damages placed a huge burden on the Libyan government which had already been majorly suffering from economic decline

• Despite the flow of economic and nutritional aid, it was nowhere near enough to counterbalance the effects of the floods.

Insufficient Economic Solutions

'We emphasize the importance of cultural heritage in Libya, which repeatedly displayed the need for its protection, viewing it as a foundation for social cohesion and a vector for dialogue and peace.'

Head of UNESCO (UNESCO World Heritage Convention)
