Heavy rain in Al-Bayda in eastern Libya caused floods Friday and Saturday in the city, leading to considerable damages to people’s houses and cars as well as to public infrastructure, including a hospital in the city center.
Sources from the city said rain water flooded into houses and public facilities as the sewers were all blocked and couldn’t absorb the rain water, in a clear indication of the city’s deteriorated infrastructure and public services of the east-based government.
Meanwhile, the Head of the Presidential Council of the Government of National Accord (GNA) has allocated 10 million dinars to Al-Bayda city to respond to the floods and compensate for the damages following the heavy rain.
