Search for survivors continues in Libya

15 September 2023

Our rescue team is still searching for possible survivors in the city of Derna after the floods caused by the storm Daniel. They are working together with other Spanish teams displaced to the area.

For the moment no survivors have been reported, the affected area was practically covered with mud and it is very difficult to find living spaces in the landslides.
