Nigeria is ready to provide all necessary support to assist the Libyan people in overcoming this harrowing tragedy,
” read a statement signed by the President’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale, on Wednesday.
The statement is titled ‘President Tinubu condoles with Libya over Storm Daniel and resulting floods.’ So far, at least 5,300 bodies have been recovered in the eastern port city of Derna, the worst-hit location where over 34,000 people were displaced. Experts say the staggering death and devastation inflicted by storm Daniel speaks not only to its intensity but also to the vulnerability of the North African state battered by over a decade of infighting, which weakened critical infrastructure.
Derna was severely affected by the bursting of two dams whose maintenance history has been questioned since the disaster.
