2,000 Bodies Carried Into the Sea

Sep 21, 2023

Provide Help Amid Disaster

What is it like right now in the Libyan city of Derna and the surrounding region as survivors of catastrophic floods try to come to terms with the sheer devastation?

The Guardian paints a bleak picture …

“Many have been buried in mass graves but one of the chief shortages in the city, apart from drinking water, is body bags required to prevent disease spreading from unburied bodies. Rescue teams have been able to enter the city and are scouring rubble and ruins left by the floods.”

In addition: “The Libyan Red Crescent put the [total] death toll at more than 11,000 people, with nearly 20,000 still missing. … It said almost 2,000 bodies were swept into the sea by the floods.”

For tens of thousands displaced …

For families still searching for loved ones …

For children left orphaned …

Please stand with LRI immediately.

“Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ,” Galatians 6:2 says.

Thank you for carrying the burdens of the vulnerable in Libya and beyond.
