Chairperson of the African Union Commission Moussa Faki Mahamat has extended condolences to Libya over devastating floods in the country.
“Following the hurricane that struck eastern Libya, I express my full solidarity and compassion with the families of the victims and the missing,” Faki wrote on social media X, formerly known as Twitter.
The chairperson called for international support to response efforts.
Due to the floods caused by the Mediterranean storm Daniel, at least 150 people lost their lives in eastern Libya over the weekend, according to local media.
Local authorities have declared three days of mourning for the victims.
