we send supplies from tripoli. they will be dispatch.sent medical supplies for 10,000 people, hygiene kits for over 1000 people. this is a drop in the ocean compared to the needs of the ground. there will also be a u.n. interagency mission. some local partners are on the ground so we count on them also for the assessment. there will be a u.n. interagency assessment in the coming days. the situation is critical because of the numbers we talked about. the number of missing people is high. we expect high levels of family separations, shelter needs, water systems to be rehabilitated. the scale is really tremendous. >> when you talk about the scale of this right now, how much concern is there at this moment that the number of dead, the number of missing, the number of displaced may rise exponentially in the days ahead? >> so the number of missing people is what is concerning. it is quite high. yesterday, they were talking about 10,000 people. that's a really concerning thing. it's true that the electricity was cut off. it may be that many peo

our area was in the south of tripoli. i can't imagine why you didn't see him on top of things are going to dallas. and i tried that and there are a lot of houses on the most important is offline maps. many locations are marked on kind of thrown on a, an idea of them in america. where the see, this is triple in the west of livia. all the names are and russian. many locations are marked in different colors, the markham, or next to the edwin sonic, a like a minimum of probably below last most, most in read below and others are in blue. and they've already been bothering across a few smaller places in black. we even see yellow here, and those are the, as you see, all the points are near ions. are of the south of tripoli, sorta, who are you if you're gonna start off with the adamant again, i is the, we're going to ions are the middle where this tablet was filed with the brand names that are kind of items are a head, a heavy russian presence according to the civilians and military personnel where they ask any of you that kind o

number scenarios in odds are they were only 10 kilometers from tripoli. and i do come up because i know the enemy was over there by the tower and the mosque. they drove up and down in an armored vehicle with their wounded countries of how the oh and you can most of the time this is where the russians had their observation post where they're snipers were stationed. let's have a look at the do you know, where was the sniper exactly at the moment this was this domain back and i'm thinking that we were at the end of the street and had this investment . oh, okay. not to time, as you get a clear shot in several directions to everything and view, then they can have a not a good idea of what do you think about the russians who are here? most of mercenaries. anyhow, they only care about money for her. the search um or another they kill, so they didn't see if they commit crimes for money. so that's the problem that in and is it's a criminal organization. one of them was it on me. so really about about, off has been researching the wagner group for the bbc for years

our area was in the south of tripoli. i can't imagine why he didn't see multiple things are going on. douglas and i tried that and there are a lot of houses on the most important is offline maps. many locations are marks of on come up, the one on a and i, the them in. and monica where the, this, the, this is triple a. in the west of livia, all the names are and russian. many locations are marked in different colors, savvy them in america, or next to them, and when sound like a like a minimal problem below. last most, most in read below and others are in blue. when i got it done by the clubs, a few smaller places in black, we even see yellow here, and those are the now, as you see, all the points are near ions are of the south of triple is all the whole. yeah. if you're going to look that up with the adamant again i is the, we're going to ions are the middle where this tablet was found on lines that are kind of the items are a head, a heavy russian presence according to the civilians and military personnel who were they as

i’m tripoli to derna. -- kilometres. i'm auoin to tripoli to derna. -- kilometres.s. i'm going to i'm going to try to get a better line, i don't think you can hear me and we can't hear properly. we will come back to you. we will try to get back to him. we have lina sinjab following this from beirut. tell us what you can, as the some hope the rival governments will come together? words different from deeds and both sides of call for international aid to arrive and the imaginations and internationally recognised government in tripoli have announced a readiness to send support and aid to the eastern government and there are reports of them talking to each other and coordinating. all of that will be clearer when manifested on the ground when it is going to arrive. this is a country, a war—torn country, a country that are such failures with administration and if had although this catastrophe in the east is a natural catastrophe, there is also man responsibility and the dam situation, reportedly not in good conditions and about cracks reported to the government but no act

hi, lisa, have launched an assault on the you and recognize government and it is capital tripoli. the, it soon became clear that half those troops known as the libyan national army, the l. n. a, were not acting alone. the seem to be that the intelligence agency reported on it. cuz i'm not that many of them. you're an estimate of 200 people. me to answer about them, but the fighting went on, are the number grew up or what not the from the start, these forces made a difference on the battlefield. a clear difference was how you can and they had weapons we'd never seen before as to how they can. then most of howitzers will see any precision guided ammunition. can snipers and 1000 home was a muscle understood. they hit with a him, daddy, those 10 he was of a. they could take out a moving car. no time. totally from ken. hey, anyhow, for the last they were highly trained militarily. and the account of the deep asked me for unlike uh, sort of the discount with the any i mean and can we any uh, jimmy, unless they or the same clothes helmets in body or the the canada we found out who they w

, there are two administrations, there is an internationally recognized government in the west in tripoli, another the government in the east, where the flood occurred, is not recognized, therefore overcoming the consequences of the disaster is also complicated by political differences, experts previously warned the local authorities that the dam may break, even cracks were visible on the dam but when it happened, no one told the residents of the city. currently, rescue and search operations are ongoing in the country, but a thousand people are considered missing, more in the next story, when the bad weather came and already fragmented libya was not ready for six months of precipitation that fell in 24 hours a day, it can be seen that almost a quarter of the sentinel city , turf, destroyed, floodwater passed here after the collapse of two mountain dams. now thousands and dozens of bodies are thrown onto the shore with terrible force, a flood passed through this city destroying houses, cars, bridges, there was no warning, no evacuation order , they carefully pull out the body of a child fr

hi lisa has launched an assault on the you and recognize government and leave us capital tripoli. the it soon became clear that half those troops known as the libyan national army, the l. n. a, were not acting alone. the, it's gonna be the, the intelligence agency reported on it kind of cut them. not that many of them. you're an estimated 200 people, me to answer about them. but the fighting went on or the that number grew up of what the what are the from the start these forces made a difference on the battlefield. a clear difference was how the kennedy had they had weapons we'd never seen before as to how they can, the most howitzers will see any precision guided ammunition can snipers and thousands of homeowners. you can also kind of as the they hit with aimed at those tenny results. they could take out a moving car, no time. totally from ken. hey, anyhow, for them. and they were highly trained militarily in the account of the deep asked me for, unlike goes to the media any, i mean on can we any jimmy? honestly, they all were the same close helmets and body or the the canada. we

and so that a dean south of tripoli, in february 2020. the government forces received military support from turkey, which helped to turn the tide against wagner. the group had been trying to find fresh supplies, the visa requests for military equipment. they were sent just a week after president pretend denied supporting russian mercenaries in libya. the . ready the professing is immediately obvious, having had a look at this equipment request list is that now primarily russian manufactured and produced weapons. these are not weapons of easily available ass on the open market. the 272, they are ordering has probably been upgraded. i wouldn't say sites with yeah, it's probably at least some of the latest equipment on it. this isn't a unit that is content to go into the field with seconds ready to quit. if there was one type of weapon that jumps out to you as probably the most advanced thing, or, you know, new point of view, the most interesting part would it be? there's one piece of equipment that stands out here and it's a particular righ

after the assault on tripoli, a contorted note. what it means is that 3 statues honor the wagner brooks, comfortably play music. one shows a soldier protecting a child's is the difference. the artists have been honest with yeah, and that's the soldier would be protecting an oil the platform that won't move to move with that. i mean, the sort of general, how do i look at all of this guns? most people say, well, many serious crimes committed during the civil war to be many were forced out of the system to household. i mean, given the 340 was under siege, the people were severely impacted us mentally and financially as outcome. the homes were destroyed. well that positions stone and there's many died in this will approach children and women when she's at email that she has to go, i've spoken to missionaries committed a heinous crime against a family in espia says 3 of us, of them on the flat, that one should be in september. we were in this house and it has to be on september 23rd 2019. so it was 3 o'clock in the afternoon on friday.

you're coming to us from tripoli, which is in the western part of the country. you told us a fact finding mission has left tripoli to go to during a, but that's in the east of the country. how is the east west divide impacting all of this? well, it complicates things significantly so you know, i spoke to the prime minister about 2 days ago and you said he's allocated a budget of void of nearly half more than half of $1000000000.00. the prime minister was, i'm out in the east has also said they've located a budget for, for a, for a, for efforts to rebuild. so i mean, who, who gets the money, who pays? who's gonna, who's gonna rebuild? is it going to be the eastern authorities? is going to be the western authority. it definitely complicates things. but what we're seeing from libyans themselves would have been politically divided for many years. is they're coming together the june of fine in the greece and in there and there. and i'm trying to help other people in eastern libya, specifically the people in government. so, you know, it was a catastrophe. it was tragi

because it's coming from the rival government and tripoli. sometimes these groups and where won't do anything, they can to get the upper hand and remember they don't have access to the international media as we do to know what's really going on. it's all based on a rumor system. so if the rumor is that the a didn't arrive, it didn't come in. there was a problem, there was a breakdown. many people in the east will believe that that is a by that by see a specialist, an arab and islamic affairs. joining us live from the lebanese capital and it's been really interesting to get your expertise on this. we appreciate your time. thank you. of the multi is the head of the tailgate party and tripoli, and he says the b as portal wise potties of unified to respond to the catastrophe and that they need help from the international community. i think the appeal is already out. it's an international media. it doesn't have to be an official request without some companies have known the last hour indicated that they're willing to help. i hope others would come

the 2 warring factions being bankrolled by the central bank of olivia and tripoli. that's how i have thought his pay and his soldiers, and that's our babies, said his soldiers. now the question is that uh, nobody wants to give any credits to the other or give them a chance to get credit at this might get in the way of helping people that aren't affected and delay at any help. the so. so this, the split government is a fact at the bank, but government day at the dimensions of the colonized government was denied entry into the so maybe a few weeks after to get it's got a vote of confidence by a 132 votes. and 2 extensions have to refuse to look at the government and through the east as a no uh, i guess may be under pressure that he may allow a go is of help from civilian from uh nonprofit organizations and so on. to enter the e send go to the internet. but the problem now is the like, uh, at a suggestive is there a search and rescue operation which libya has no expertise in never exercise it, but on a smaller scale. mm hm. this is a huge problem. now, so now what medi

the government in tripoli affecting the government in the east?> actually, all two governments helping the city of derna and central bank bid 2000 million [indiscernible] >> thank you for that. the political situation in libya is complicating rescue and aid operations. let's take a look back at the decades of turmoil. reporter: the notorious muammar gaddafi ruled libya with charisma, belying his iron fist. but after holding his rivals in check for 42 years, protest against his rule 12 years ago escalated to a nato supported rebellion. muammar qaddafi was killed by a militia group. and libya turned chaotic. malicious found space to operate and despite western backed elections, rival governments split the western and eastern parts in 2014. each supported by outside governments and loaded with arms and ammunition. this is about how it looks now. the tripoli base government in the west has the backing of the united nations. the one in the east is where the flooding occurred and is headed by military leader. prior to the flooding, war and the lack of a

not for the white, the tripoli, and because he is very reminiscent of the ad spring which started in 2011 from the east. the video for the prism of that is also being felt from the trembling authorities and use the media through the clamoring to shut down communications. and then the cool for libyans themselves to not use this time to be critical. but to use this time is a moment of reflection. the simple message really is, i think, be quiet and forget about the individuals responsible for this. and this is particularly dangerous interface like flip. yeah, because everything is politicized in the country, including the media, libyan credible journalists are being disappeared, are being detained, and are being suppressing it's international jealous that when they have to tell the story, and when they leave, it will be done lists from within libya that identifies the penalty the moving to the us now and a real life story of succession. rupert murdoch is handing over the reins of his mamma, news, empire. and joanna host is here with the detail. that's right, richard. this paul's thursda

earlier i spoke to the minister of transportation here and tripoli. i met him at the airport and i asked him, i said, you know, how are you? how are you? is your, is this government here and tripoli and the government in the east able to coordinate a, you know, is it, is it possible? are issues coming up and you said, listen, let's put the politics aside. now it doesn't matter what government is doing, what, what matters is that we as a country come together and help other people in need. i mean and don't know the situation is devastating, but we have to also remember that there are other cities in the eastern regions that have been devastated by these floods. earlier. a health official told me in the city of suicide, which is on the, on the coast. but, you know, authorities haven't been able to, to, to reach the city and, and they don't know the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, what's, what the situation is for the people there. so a lot of a lot of effort still needs to continue. and some encouraging signs that from the government. it seems malic

a dozens of donation centers like this one have been set up in tripoli. people give what they can along with the extensive destruction across the done, the. the cities to dams burst after heavy rainfall sent the tidal wave down the valley. entire communities here were swept away into the sea or buried under the rubble. the recovery operation goes on with the help of international search and rescue teams. libya has to rival governments both have located funds for emergency response efforts and to rebuild devastated areas. what there are fears if they can't cooperate much needed assistance might be delayed. jerome. uh, you're welcome to yes. yeah. now is not the time for politics. it's not time to talk about which government does what it's a humanitarian issue. are people were swept away into the scene. many are missing. libyans have seen years of conflict and divisions, but many are putting aside the differences to help their fellow citizens. there's been an outpouring of support from across the country. what happened in eastern libya has brought together

there is the you and recognize government led by prime minister abdul hamid they buy in tripoli. it controls these areas there in blue. a summer home on the prime minister in the east leads a rival administration known as the house of representatives which is backed by the libyan warlord, especially for headstart, the areas in red or under their control. the rival size of failed to unified to unify for years. elections were scheduled for december 2021, but they never happened because of differences on candidates among other sticking points. while it let's go back to you. how can the east and west cooperate if at all, to bring relief to the most effective communities and during the of the well, i've 1st, i want to talk about the people. i mean, the libyans, you know, have been divided for years under and understand the political spectrum in particular, but they're coming together now, like we haven't seen. i mean, this is reminiscent of the revolution of in 2011. what's happening now? i mean, people are mobilizing of thousands of people are going to, the people are donating whatev

the 2 warring factions being bankrolled by the centred bank of olivia and tripoli. that's how i have thought his pay and his soldiers. and that's how they say and his soldiers at now the question is that uh, nobody wants to give any credits to the other or give them a chance to get credit at this might get in the way of helping people that aren't affected and delay at any help the so so this the split government is a fact uh the have to refuse to let the government enter the east. uh no uh i guess may be under pressure that he may allow a call who is uh of help from uh, civilian from uh nonprofit organizations and so on to enter the east and go to the internet. but the problem now is the like, uh, at a suggestive, is there a search and rescue operation which libya has no expertise in never exercise it, but on a smaller scale. mm hm. this is a huge problem now. so what mediates a worry so, so we don't, we don't know who's going to help with that. so i'm sorry to interrupt you. we just have a minute left. i see that on us is raising his hand and wants to get a pointed

i'll just 0 tripoli. the to morocco where the government has announced an aid program to support those who left homeless off the last weeks mess of earthquake survivors and struggling to cope with injuries and mental trauma. the receiving help, it makes you of hospitals nivia the center of the quick. i some of our i met some of them in the town of asked me. this has been a remarkably busy week for the doctors of this minister clinic and sent to him a walk, a patient's suffering from anxiety and panic, attacks, workdays, emergency room the off the shelves, and memories of last by days earthquake have left the marks of these people are clearly traumatized. these are the east from with god. she lost her house and relatives and fees. what happens next in her life? this it, this is we have had, we were sleep when i had a strange sound and i started screaming. the roof was phoning, i shouted to my husband to rescue the children and my mother. it was terrible long, tough hours went by. i felt a line and helpless

. >> in the capital, tripoli, flags are flying at half-mast. the government has declared three days of national mourning. many have gathered to pray for those who have died. he received news yesterday his sister and her entire family were killed in the floods. he has come here to pray for their souls. >> the officials are responsible for all the lives lost. why? because it was clear that the dams had a problem and needed renovation. why didn't they fix it? they knew the storm was coming. they should punish all the officials from both sides for this disaster. >> eight is beginning to arrive from airports in eastern libya. the prime minister says his government is committed to rebuilding homes that were destroyed. >> today, we allocated a budget of more than $515 million to start rebuilding people's lives in impacted areas. if these funds are not enough to rebuild, we will allocate more. everyone is doing what they can to help. >> libya has two governments, but people hope that through this tragedy, the country and its rival politicians can final

an air base, they were practically captives there for a few years, and they were brought back to tripoli in al-nasr school, where they were also captives for a few years. these are things like years after the prohibition of face transfer happened under the supervision of gaddafi himself and we understand the political and legal security of a libyan side, but there was also a severe and unacceptable attempt and fault. we are responsible and have a legal , moral, islamic and shariah duty to cooperate in the matter of the imam, and our relations with the government will not be normal before cooperation in this matter . we do not have any opinion or document other than this the animation is not alive. we did a research on sharia research until it is like me . you can't say that now at this age and so-and-so's mother's name is imam hussain . they lived up to a hundred years old, their brothers were over 90 years old, and the thought of the reason we can't say that we were old and the family is old, it's hard to ask for life at the moment of awakening, but i have a sister, i have a brother , b

and tripoli . he says, maybe is put in their eyes. policies have unified to respond to the catastrophe and they need help from the international community. so i think that really is already out. it's an international media, it doesn't have to be on a purchase request without some companies have known the last hour indicated that they're willing to help. i hope others would come forward as well as long as those countries are willing to help and make an initiative and come forward them say they are ready to do to, to send require equipment. i'm other form of, of how i think all the needs to facilitate that would be, would be provided. look, and i think we need equipment. they can equipment a company called laps buildings, possibly even the picking bodies or of sites, or people who are floating or people are stuck in to see people are stuck on the buildings. those kinds of equipment. i think for themselves that is probably the least we need food congress applied, nor can you but sophisticated equipmen

we have been trucking in supplies from tripoli to benghazi overnight to get there.they get to benghazi, getting in is another issue because the road accessibility is very poor so the logistics are very bad. there is expertise. our own colleagues are experts. they are medical professionals. they are psychosocial professionals to give psychosocial help to those affected, suffering from trauma. the question is getting the right people into derna. christian: i know there is a port. has that been damaged by the floodwaters? >> report apparently is able to handle -- there is a ship coming in at that as yet unconfirmed so i cannot comment on that. if that port becomes operational, that will be a great help because you can start shipping in supplies. christian: what about the government in benghazi? you say the aid is there. are you getting support from the administration in benghazi? >> absolutely. we have a service in benghazi which has been up and running. we have been present in tripoli and benghazi so we have the support of the authorities. the authorities have request

the country is split with an internationally recognised government in tripoli, and a rival governmentis is one description of what it is like in derna from a libyan journalist who spoke to the bbc. my friend, i'm staying with him right now to support him because when we were preparing for this interview with bbc, i heard, while i was next to him, the news of the death of his full family — his mother, his father, his two brothers, his sister maryam, and his wife, newly married wife, which he sent to libya to visit his familyjust two weeks ago, and his little kid, fauzi, who is eight months old. all of those died — all of his family is dead. he's asking me, "what should i do?" no—one knows what we should do right now. all of the people that we know when we ask, "what happened to this person? "what happened to that person?" they tell us that their whole families are dead. really devastating descriptions. earlier, the ministerfor really devastating descriptions. earlier, the minister for civil aviation in the east libyan government, not the internationally recognised one, told me about th
