Reported To Be Among Thousands Dead Or Feared Dead
According to #UNHCR spokesperson Matthew Saltmarsh (InfoMigrants), "The floods caused a mass displacement, adding to the number of people who were already displaced before Storm Daniel hit the country. However, estimates of flood-induced population displacement are not available yet."
Before the disaster, 46,000 Internally Displaced Persons (#IDPs) lived in the devastated eastern part of the country, where more than 1,000 Refugees are registered with the UNHCR.
However:
"UNHCR is aware that a larger number of forcibly displaced people that are not registered with UNHCR live in the areas hit by the storm and flooding", says UNHCR
30% of the estimated 705,746 Migrants hosted by Libya live in the eastern part.
