For the third consecutive day, southwest Libya is experiencing heavy rains that have led to floods sweeping down from the Tadrart Acacus and Tassili mountains into nearby urban areas.
Hassan Osman Issa, the official spokesperson for the Ghat Emergency Room, confirmed that floods have reached the Joufari area of the Barkat Municipality, prompting local authorities to evacuate families.
Issa told Sky News Arabia that the armed forces and rescue teams responded immediately to a distress call from the village of Tazrouk, near the Algerian border.
The southern valley near Issein is nearly full, and weather stations are closely monitoring the movement of the floods.
Heavy rains have also accumulated within residential neighborhoods in the city of Ghat due to recent weather fluctuations, with authorities urging residents to exercise caution while driving.
