UNICEF’s top official in Libya said on Thursday the aid distributed so far following the flood disaster is just a ‘drop in the ocean’ compared to what will be needed in the weeks ahead.
Michele Servadei, Libya Representative for the UN Children’s Fund, told UN News’s Khaled Mohamed that the damage caused by that “terrible night” which has left thousands dead and missing, means psychosocial support will be needed as much as other lifesaving supplies.
The UN has launched a flash appeal for $71 million to aid 250,000 Libyans affected by Sunday’s deadly deluge.
