The official spokesman for the Ghat Emergency Room, Hassan Othman Issa, stated to the “Ain Libya” network, regarding the latest developments in the region.
Issa said: “No casualties have been recorded so far due to the floods and rain.”
He added: “Despite the heavy rains and the accumulation of water, the situation is still reassuring and we are awaiting the floods coming from the south of Ghat from the heights of the Tassili Mountains. We must be careful and follow the instructions of the responsible authorities.”
Issa continued to the “Ain Libya” network: “There are efforts to repair the fiber optic cable and there are attempts to connect Libyana communications to the satellite.”
The spokesman for Ghadfa confirmed that “the parties that arrived in Ghat to provide assistance are the Central Support, Southern Region, Ubari Security Directorate, Field Medicine Authority, Ubari and Sabha Ambulance and Emergency Authority, Sabha Security Directorate, Beach Security Directorate, and the General Water Company, Southern Region.”
He pointed out that “heavy rains have been witnessed in the four municipalities (Al-Awinat – Ghat – Tahala – Al-Barakat) since this evening, which led to the accumulation of water inside residential neighborhoods,” noting that “torrents are arriving in the Tassili Mountains located west of the city of Ghat in Al-Fiot, and they are of medium strength so far.”
Issa pointed out that “the water level increased in Tahala this evening after the rain wave, and the road linking Ubari-Ghat also witnessed heavy rains that led to the accumulation of water, and the damage is being assessed,” noting that “there was a power outage in parts of the city as a result of the heavy rainfall.”
He stressed that “the armed forces, the Ghat Security Directorate, the Red Crescent, and the Civil Safety Authority are conducting patrols in the areas and along the valleys in anticipation of any emergency.”
