Kinh hoàng: giây phút 2 con đập ‘khổng lồ’ vỡ vụn, xoá sổ 1 thành phố tại Lybia

These are FBNC's morning International news Thank you for watching See you in the next FBNC's morning International news Dona Ahmed Madru, the mayor of Dona, said that the most populated area of the city is on the roadway of the floods. This is also the cause of the casualties and the large number of people lost. The mayor said that at least 20% of the city was destroyed in the flood. In addition, many people also said that the local government did not warn of the danger of heavy rain. According to the Arab News, the two dams were demolished off the outskirts of the city of Dona, built in the 1970s. A report by the Libyan government in 2021 said that the two dams above were not maintained, although the government allocated 2 million USD to do this in 2012 and 2013. The reason is that this area is rarely flooded. The two dams were built quite roughly, with the core covered with clay, and the two sides were reinforced with stone and lime. Therefore, when the amount of water from the reservoir is too large, the two dams are not resilient enough and quickly break down, causing about 30 million cubic meters of water to fall into Dona. Prime Minister Abdul Hamid Dubeyba of the United Nations government in western Libya recognized the maintenance issues in the Cabinet meeting on September 14 and called on prosecutors to open an emergency investigation into the collapse. The investigation will clarify the role and responsibility of the individuals involved in the incident, especially the conclusion of whether there was a mistake. Prime Minister Saadeq Eswar said that the investigation will focus on the role of the local government as well as the government agencies involved in the incident. The investigation and clarification of the cause of the collapse of the dams is very important to protect the rights of the victims, and to determine who is responsible for the collapse of the dams. We will investigate seriously and responsibly to come to a conclusion as to whether there was a crime or not, with specific evidence. On the same day, local health authorities and local governments said that thousands of people lost their lives in the collapse of the dams or were washed ashore in the Mediterranean Sea. Rescuers are still working hard to find survivors, take samples and dispose of the bodies. In addition to the rescue forces in the country, there are currently about 10 international rescue teams from some Middle East, Africa and Europe countries participating. According to the United Nations, the 9-11 flood in the east of Libya affected nearly 900,000 people. The material damage is very large and cannot be calculated. Meanwhile, many analysts say that the restoration and reconstruction of the city of Dena needs a huge amount of money, up to billions of dollars, for many years. The head of the League of Red Cross and the International Red Cross in Libya said that the depth of the dam could be as high as 7 meters. The head of the ICRC in Libya, Jean Fridet, described the disaster as very tragic. A 7-meter high wave swept the buildings and infrastructure down to the sea. Now many families are losing loved ones, bodies washed ashore and houses destroyed. According to him, it will take many months, even many years, to recover from the disaster. Meanwhile, Libya's former minister of health, Biniyarayda En-Oakli, described the CNN as even more terrible. According to him, the wave was as high as a six-story building or even higher. A wounded witness told the Arab News that his mother and brother tried to run up a building at the time of the flood. In just a few seconds, the water level rose to a height. When we reached level 4, the water reached level 2. With thousands of people killed and many others still missing, according to CNN, the question is why this storm also hit Greece and other countries, but did not cause as much damage as in Libya. Experts say that in addition to the strong storm, the disaster in Libya is even more serious due to the combination of many factors, including old infrastructure, downgrading, incomplete warnings and the impact of the rising climate crisis. The huge amount of rain that fell in Libya on September 10 was caused by the Danube storm system. After the floods in Greece, Turkey and Bulgaria, the Danube storm was stronger when it passed through the hot waters of the Mediterranean before the heavy rain fell in Libya on September 10. The Danube storm caused a record rainfall of more than 414 mm in 24 hours for Al-Bayda, a western city in Denmark. CNN said that although it was too early to affirm that the storm was caused by the climate crisis, scientists believe that climate change is increasing the intensity of extreme weather events such as storms. According to research by the Libyan University of Sefha published last year, the Danube was easily flooded and the reservoirs here caused at least 5 death floods since 1942, with the latest flood in 2011. Two dams were damaged on September 11, built about half a century ago, from 1973 to 1977, by a South African construction company. The Danube Dam is 75 meters high and weighs 18 million cubic meters. The second dam, Mansour, is 45 meters high and weighs 1.5 million cubic meters. The city's mayor, Ahmed Matroux, told Al Jazeera that the dams had not been maintained since 2002. The dam, which was once destroyed in history and the city's infrastructure, was damaged after many years of conflict, from the fight against ISIS to the battles of the Eastern Caliphate of Haftar and the Libyan National Army. On September 14, the United Nations called on donors to donate 71.4 million U.S. dollars to the market to help Libya recover from the flooding caused by the Danube storm in North Africa on September 10. A U.N. official said that the two opposing sides in the Libyan civil war are working together to save the victims. The AP news agency quoted data from the Libyan health authorities as saying that the death toll in Dena reached 5,500 as of morning on September 13 local time. The mayor emphasized, We really need teams to recover the bodies. I am worried that the city will be infected with diseases from the large number of bodies under the Danube and under the water. Some analysts believe that the political situation in Libya was severed by more than a decade of civil war after the uproar of the Muammar Gaddafi administration in 2011, which partly led to this devastation. Libya is divided between two opposing governments. The United Nations recognized that the Libyan National Unity, or GNU, is based in Tripoli, in the west, and that the Libyan National Army, or LNA, is in the east. A U.N. official said that both the eastern and western governments have asked for international aid and are negotiating with each other. Tawheed Fasha, of the International Migration Organization, or IOM, of the United Nations, spoke to the British BBC. Both governments have contacted the international community for help. Tawheed Fasha said, The challenge now is that the international community must respond in accordance with the needs and demands of the governments. UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Von Kurt Rook, emphasized, All political groups must cooperate together after the flood. He said, This is the time for a purposeful unification. The city of Dona, Libya, was severely devastated when tens of millions of cubic meters of water from two dams were broken and dumped. According to satellite images before and after the disaster in Libya, announced by Al Jazeera on the night of September 13, the water flow from the two dams flowed straight from the source of the dam to the city of Dona, and nothing could prevent the huge amount of water estimated to be up to 30 million cubic meters. Mayor of Dona, Ahmed Madrou said, The city of Dona was built at the location of the source of the flood. The dams in the source were not maintained for more than 20 years, and those infrastructure were not built to counter the impact of the flood. At least 20% of the city was destroyed. Mr. Chekiwat also said, The number of deaths is expected to increase significantly, even double, and the reconstruction will cost billions of dollars. According to estimates, about 10,000 people are still missing, and many people may have been swept out by the flood. In addition, the International Migration Organization yesterday said at least 30,000 Libyans lost their homes in Dona after the flood, and 6,085 people are said to have fled to other areas affected by the storm. According to Reuters, 39-year-old Rara Sassi, who survived the flood with his wife and daughter after the water rose to the top of his house, but the rest of the family died. Mr. Sassi said, At first we thought it was going to rain, but in the middle of the night, we heard a loud explosion, and it was a landslide, and it killed the city center. Similarly, 46-year-old Saliha Abubak also survived the flood. She and her two sisters survived the disaster, but their mother passed away. She said that the water quickly flooded their building to the third floor. According to Al Jazeera, in this situation, the rescue workers in the city of Dona had to make a call that could not be more painful. The city's mayor, Abdulmenem Al Ghaithi, is worried that the city will have a pandemic due to the many bodies of people in the water and under the rubble. The Guardian said that the number of deaths will probably reach 20,000. Authorities in Libya call this situation an unprecedented disaster.
