The Turkish Red Crescent has said it sent more than 150 tonnes of humanitarian aid to Libya, where floods due to Storm Daniel killed nearly 4,000 people. The aid, which included food, hygiene materials, clothing, masks, flashlights, communication devices, candles and batteries, was delivered to the victims by planes and ships, the organisation said in a statement on Wednesday.
Hot meals were also provided through a mobile feeding vehicle, the statement said, adding that they are preparing another 78 tonnes of humanitarian aid consisting of blankets, food, and hygiene sets for the disaster-hit region. Türkiye was among the first to respond to the Libya’s call for help after catastrophic floods struck the country and has emerged as one of the foremost providers of assistance.
