EMERGENCY: 5,000+ dead after devastating flooding in Libya

RUSH AN EMERGENCY GIFT [[link removed]]

This week, we’ve been briefing you on the aftermath of a devastating earthquake in Morocco. But right now, we’re reaching out about another crisis that demands your immediate attention:

On Monday, Storm Daniel struck the coast of Libya causing widespread damage — including flash flooding that collapsed two dams. More than 5,000 people are confirmed dead and another 30,000 people displaced due to flooding.

Obstructed, destroyed, and flooded roads are severely undermining the ability to deliver humanitarian aid. There are also widespread power outages and disruption to communications.

We’re launching a flash appeal to support our on-the-ground efforts and deliver critical aid to survivors in Libya. Will you rush an emergency gift now to help in Libya and humanitarian crises around the world? Pregnant women and newborns are at heightened risk in the aftermath of Libya’s floods. [[link removed]]

RUSH AN EMERGENCY GIFT [[link removed]]

It’s hard to overstate the magnitude of this disaster. Whole neighborhoods have reportedly been just washed away.

UNFPA already has a presence on the ground in Libya — so we’ve been able to mobilize rapidly. Prepositioned Dignity Kits and Mama Kits will be dispatched to survivors through local partners.

*
Mama
Kits
ensure
that
new
mothers
have
everything
they
need
for
themselves
and
their
newborns.
They
include:
Clothing
for
the
mother
and
her
baby,
diapers,
Baby
blanket,
baby
soap,
and
more.
*
Dignity
Kits
ensure
that
women
and
girls
can
maintain
their
personal
healthcare
needs
after
a
crisis.
They
include:
Menstrual
pads,
bath
soap,
multiple
pairs
of

These kits will be lifelines to 30,000+ displaced survivors of the devastating floods in Libya. We are already on the ground distributing the supplies we have, but the need is growing and every second counts in a crisis situation like this.

Will you rush an emergency gift to deliver humanitarian relief to women and girls — whose needs too often go overlooked during times of crisis like in Libya? [[link removed]]

Our hearts are with those suffering in Libya, Morocco, and beyond. Our work never stops in moments of crisis. We will continue to share opportunities for you to make an impact and deliver humanitarian relief.

Thank you for being there for women and girls.
