00:14 of which designee Ijuqek Wirgen,
00:15 denotes the formidable amount of generosity
00:18 set up to help the inhabitants of the many villages.
00:21 The daily record shows that the lines of a supermarket in Marrakech
00:24 are expanding as fast as they are emptying.
00:26 The reporter is on his way to the most affected areas.
00:29 In Hemskyne, the earthquake has killed few victims,
00:31 but aid has already arrived massively,
00:33 to the point that the inhabitants themselves refuse donations
00:35 and invite their benefactors to continue their journey.
00:38 Victims are still being looked for in Seveli,
00:40 some dwellings have been taken shelter in by tents
00:43 and others are waiting.
00:44 The drama of human losses continues.
00:47 The sea is constantly pouring dozens of bodies,
00:50 said Hichem Abou-Chouikat,
00:52 Libyan Minister of Civil Aviation
00:54 in the administration that leads the east of Libya.
00:57 The reconstruction would cost billions of dollars,
00:59 according to The Independent.
01:01 The torrential rains caused by the Daniel storm
01:03 seem to have submerged several dams
01:06 and caused a tsunami
01:08 across the city, carrying entire neighborhoods
01:11 and bringing the inhabitants to the sea,
01:13 in what has been revealed to be the worst
01:15 climate disaster of 2023 so far.
01:18 The magnitude of the disaster can be seen clearly from space.
01:22 The satellite images published by The Guardian
01:24 show the disappearance of buildings under the water.
01:27 The photo below is marked with the color brown,
01:30 the mud that has engulfed a quarter of the city of Derna.
01:33 The city, which has 90,000 inhabitants,
01:35 is surrounded by the Wadi Derna,
01:37 a seasonal river that flows from the highlands
01:40 located further south and which is normally protected
01:42 from floods by dams.
01:44 The Daniel storm illustrates the type of devastating flooding
01:48 that we can expect more and more in the future,
01:51 as the world warms up, according to Lidzi Kendon,
01:54 climate science professor at the University of Bristol,
01:58 and quoted by Arab News.
01:59 According to the European Observatory Copernicus,
02:02 the overheating of sea surface temperatures,
02:04 which absorbs 90% of the excess heat
02:07 produced by human activity since the industrial era,
02:10 is causing record heat levels around the world,
02:14 and 2023 will probably be the hottest year in history.
02:18 But the climate doesn't explain everything.
02:20 Some analysts believe that the fragmented political scene in Libya,
02:23 torn apart by more than a decade of civil war
02:26 following the fall of Muammar Gaddafi
02:29 in power from 1969 to 2011,
02:32 also contributed to this disaster.
02:35 This is also what Forain e Polissi confirms.
02:38 "The tragedy caused by the destruction of two dams
02:40 illustrates the disastrous consequences
02:43 of Libya's fragile governance.
02:45 The country is divided between rival factions
02:47 in the East and West,
02:49 each supported by various international actors.
02:52 Ten years later, Libya still has no constitution,
02:55 nor a state with the monopoly of force,
02:57 nor economic institutions capable of managing the economy rationally,"
03:02 wrote in 2021 the Libyan expert Jason Pak in Forain e Polissi.
03:07 The tragic Aderna dam could reach 10,000 people,
03:11 more than a tenth of the city's total population,
03:14 said Forain e Polissi.
03:15 Thousands of inhabitants remain stranded, missing.
03:19 The Arabian New Year reminds us of the worst floods in history.
03:22 The Netherlands are the most affected by this phenomenon.
03:26 Half of the Dutch territory
03:27 is not more than one metre above sea level.
03:31 In the 13th century, in June 1212,
03:33 60,000 people disappeared during a flood that lasted six months.
03:39 A few decades later, the St Lucie flood
03:42 caused the death of 50,000 to 80,000 people in the Netherlands.
03:46 And in northern Germany, the St Felix flood in 1530
03:51 is the deadliest in European history.
03:54 It claimed 120,000 lives
03:56 and caused losses estimated at 100 million euros.
04:00 We are coming to the end of the International Press Review.
04:03 Thank you for watching. Have a good day.
