The Prime Minister of the National Unity Government of Libya, Abdulhamid al-Dbeibah, issued a decree allocating 92.8 million dinars for the repair and maintenance of 117 schools and educational facilities in cities affected by recent floods, totaling 15 cities.
In accordance with his decree numbered (608) for the year 2023, Abdulhamid al-Dbeibah authorized the Educational Facilities Authority to contract the repair of various schools in the afflicted cities in eastern Libya. He also instructed the authority to establish a specific timeline for the completion of these maintenance projects.
Emphasizing the need for contracts with local companies registered with the Educational Facilities Authority branches in the eastern region and its affiliated offices in the affected municipalities and nearby municipalities, the Prime Minister stated that this should be done “in accordance with guideline prices for infrastructure, building works, full maintenance, and the procedures followed by the authority in execution.”
Additionally, Abdulhamid al-Dbeibah attached a table to his decree outlining the municipalities, the number of schools, the type of maintenance required, and the estimated financial costs for the targeted educational facilities in each municipality.
Earlier, the National Unity Government, led by Abdulhamid al-Dbeibah, formally requested assistance from the World Bank in three areas to aid in the reconstruction of the devastated areas following the floods that struck eastern Libya.
Search and rescue teams continue their efforts to recover the bodies of flood victims in eastern Libya after the devastating floods that ravaged the region.
It’s worth noting that the government, appointed by the House of Representatives, has announced plans to host an international conference in the city next month to facilitate its reconstruction.
