Airport flooded in Libya’s Benghazi after heavy rain 0 SHARES Share it! Share TweetBy ReutersBENGHAZI, Libya (Reuters) – Heavy rain brought much of Libya’s second city Benghazi to a standstill on Wednesday, closing major roads and shutting its airport, officials said. Water flooded the passenger terminal, rising up to 1.5 meters (5 feet), the airport’s deputy manager, Usama Ferjani, said. Benghazi’s Benina airport had only been renovated and reopened in 2017 following a three-year closure during which military forces were fighting Islamists. The bad weather also forced the closure of all Libyan oil export ports as high waves made the docking of tankers impossible.
