Addressing mental health after deadly floods in Libya


Two weeks after Storm Daniel caused devastating floods in Libya that engulfed Derna and killed thousands, search and rescue operations are about to end and the reconstruction process is underway. The need for psychological relief is immense among Derna’s people. Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) has begun medical activities, focusing on mental health support for people who lost everything, as well as for medical staff and volunteers. Michel Olivier Lacharité, MSF’s head of emergency, explains from Derna.
