Original Note:
The disaster in Derna was a result of poor infrastructure and a lack of heeding expert warning that the dams were at risk of failure and needed to be checked on. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/9/14/natural-disaster-or-man-made-why-was-libya-so-vulnerable-to-floods Omar Al-Mukhtar University warned that there was “a high potential for flood risk”. Yet no action was taken.
