The World Health Organization (WHO) said on Saturday that it had sent a plane carrying about 29 tonnes of medical supplies to Benghazi, Libya, to help the victims of the devastating floods caused by Storm Daniel. The medical supplies include essential medicines, trauma and emergency surgery supplies, and medical equipment, which can cover the health needs of some 250,000 people. The WHO said that this was the second batch of aid it had delivered to Libya, following an initial shipment of 29 tonnes of emergency medical supplies from its warehouses in the country. The WHO also expressed its concern about the rising death toll and the mass burial of flood victims in Libya. The floods in Libya were triggered by heavy rains from Storm Daniel, which hit the Mediterranean region on Sunday.
