From all of the youtube published material on this tragedy this one is the only one to give a real sense of the scale of the events. Thanks.
Good reporting , someone actually talking about the human errors that have given rise to this tragic event . (And not just blaming the weather )
It is not human errors, this teritories under control of islamic state. Noone wants to deal with them
Im sure the NATO bomb a few years ago did wonders
Hillary Clinton and her fellow "hawks" have a lot to answer for. The destruction of Libya's government -- however problematic it may have been -- was a crime against humanity. It also probably led to these dams breaking.
Our condolences go out to the living survivors to their loved ones who are lost in the devastation of Lybia also to Morocco and the smogg in Sydney Australia.
is so heartbreakingly tragic what has happened in not just Libya but in Morocco
Türkiye, China, Maui, Canada and so many other places on earth just in this year
alone. My heart is breaking for all the people of all Nations that are suffering such
devastating disasters ❤
The Libyan disaster was not a natural disaster, but a man made one.
And maybe more is coming. . . . dangerous time has come.
@@ruleoflaw2954Most definitely 🕊🙏❤
Signs of the times, definitely more is coming ... We need to make right our ways.... My heart goes out for all who are affected and lost their loved ones.
@@Mabhaa Amen 🕊🙏❤
Years of neglect and corruption led to this catastrophe and the victims were the poor people, the two dams have been built since 1978 and from then no one made maintenance for them, engineers who are working there have written a lot of reports about the bad situations of the dams but no one from responsible people took care of that , I am Libyan and I can say that the consecutive Libyan governments are ones of the most corrupted governments in the history.
As in 2011, many thanks to Alex for covering this disastrous event on site, and showing it how it is. The name "Auntie" always comes to mind. I'm sure a lot of other Libyans do as well.
This lady is so hero and I admire the way how she delivered the report with all the emotions
The lady is a good reporter.
Our deepest condolences and heartbreaking to the people of Libya, stay safe and healthy & also wish and hope all our beloved ones get aid fastest and those who departed, May all their soul RIP 🤍
my condolence to Libya from Turkey
We are in the days of Noah so you need Jesus to heal you He is only the healer no body else Amen God bless you,
Looney
We are living in End times.
Everything that's happening around the world right now, is written in the Holy Bible.
Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour is preparing to return.
Amen. 🙏❤🙏
Repent......
🥳@@mariahewitt9787
The loss of humam life EVERYWHERE is purely heartbreaking. I pray for ALL of humanity EVERYWHERE, EVERYDAY. When will it be ENOUGH? 🛐
OUR DEEPEST CONDOLENCE, TO LIBYA, MOROCCO, JAPAN, AND MANY OTHERS NATIONS. AFFECTED SA MGA DISASTERS, . IN JESUS NAME, WE PRAY, AMEN.❤❤❤
I heard Britain and NATO just sent "condolences" to Libya after destroying Libya's infrastructure in 2011. Any regrets?
We are living in End times.
LOL, stay scared and send more cash to solve all.
My condolences from 🇨🇦
Thanks
Good reporting. My prayers are with the people of Libya! 🙏🏼
12th century living, 12th century infrastructure, enjoy!
Most people led a prosperous life in Libya until the Americans and the French turned this country into their "feeding zone" in 2011... And, yes, of course, the British also actively participated in the robbery of Libya.
Best journalist in the business damage is unbelievable
Evil.
They killed gadaffi and this is the result
Dams were built in 70s. WATER ALWAYS WINS. It takes centuries to divide the mountains. It can wait 50 years to break the dams.
It wasn't a natural disaster! Just like the fires in Maui! D.E.W
Yes unlikely to happen
Hi, can articulate that, please
9/11.

no answer dude? no fact, just bla bla bla?
This is so sad. No national help or aid coming in to help the people with this disaster
Egypt, Algeria and Tunisia, as well as Turkey, Italy and the United Arab Emirates, sent rescue teams and aid. The UK and German governments sent assistance too, including blankets, sleeping bags, sleeping mats, tents, water filters and generators. US President The United States has sent money to relief organizations and are coordinating with Libyan authorities and the United Nations to provide additional support.
Welcome to Libya 🇱🇾
What do'u mean by "Welcome to Libya?"
Haven’t the poor buggers suffered enough ! No food for most ,electricity ,running water ,and now this on top!
Thanks for UN's role in what we have reached now
May allah send mercy upon our people in Derna and eastern libya.
Meu Deus, que catástrofe!
Has anyone mention these were water collection and flood check structures and not storing water most of the time? They had collected sediment, but otherwise I suspect the structures themselves may have been sound. I suspect as well that the failure was due to the overwhelming and unprecedented nature of the weather, and contributed little to the extent of the devastation.
The fact is that the city formed on a delta that had been created by floods coming out of the wadi.
This was something that can be attributed to a warmer atmosphere that can cause these rare weather events to become less rare.
God willing 2024 will be a peaceful year. People have gone through so much.
Horrific :o(
Condolences from the US.
We only want God's help, not Jesus Christ. God protects us in Libya, and whatever God wants, He does to us. We are God's servants Libya and Libya and Libya
Neighboring Egypt, Algeria and Tunisia, as well as Turkey, Italy and the United Arab Emirates, sent rescue teams and aid. The UK and German governments sent assistance too, including blankets, sleeping bags, sleeping mats, tents, water filters and generators. US President Joe Biden also said the United States would send money to relief organizations and coordinate with Libyan authorities and the United Nations to provide additional support. Le Monde
This is horrible
Nature's fury. 😢😮
Inaa lilahi wa inaa ilahay rajioon
Interesting fact:
Derna is the location of the first military victory for the U.S outside of the U.S.
This means that the U.S military has been aware of this location for a very long time.
Ask yourself, what does this mean?
That was in 1803. right? So, what does it mean?
Perhaps the Saudi cloud seeding projects could be affecting climate change a little more than a cow farting or my car?
Agreed 👍
The Lynton Flood disaster in England in 1951 was after experimental cloud seeding. It was long denied but confirmed a few years ago by a person involved in the work.@@Rosie05610

woah!
God says stop the boats and the slave markets.
Which United States UK and France caused
@@bekindandmerciful5145 Ridiculous
@@bekindandmerciful5145the African SlaveTrade was started by the arab muslims when they conquered and colonised north Africa in the 7th century , they converted the Berbers , then the mamluks came and later the Othomans , and together they created the islamic slave trade , the largest and longest Slavetrade in Human history (7th century to 20th century) , they are the ones who began the mass scale enslavement of blacks , they even enslaved millions of europeans .. Europeans had been locked in by the muslim armies since the middle ages , their ships were raided in the mediterranian , their caravans were raided trying to enter Asia , Europe was tightly besieged by the muslims for many centuries . they finaly got the strength to break out in the 16th century and began retaliating against the muslims , this retaliation expanded and evolved into the colonial age , europeans took part of the slavetrade for arround 3 centuries only (16th to 19th) , the muslims kept selling slaves untill the 20th century when europeans made them stop it by force .. the muslim empires even had slavetrades all over Asia , hey enslaved millions of hindus in India
looks like Kaddaffi finally got his revenge
It's very Sad 😭😭😭😭😭💔💔💔💔💔 Heart breaking 💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔😭💔😭💔
My heart goes out to all those affected by this horrible tragedy and the people who have lost their loved ones but I fear that the people of Great Britain have lost so much in this terrible leadership we have no money to support them in this tragedy my heart breaks for yous all 😢😢
Libya dam collapse: Disaster 'cut a swathe right through the centre of town'
Force of Nature 🙏🏻
Dammm right
and evil people's mistake
No. This was not caused by nature. It was caused by failure to maintain dams.
Condolences to people of Libya and Morocco for the back to back disasters that hit their nation taking many lives. We can only hope that there will be no other such incidents for either country and better infrastructure will be implemented. 😓😢
Excellent reporting!
But for the Lybian I do not understand. They have a lot of economical ressources. Why did not they hire engineers to do the job ?
🙏
😢🇱🇾
😢
i pray for unity,the Cause and foundations of the flood is Italy and France Paris, America Napolitano,Napoli,Taranto,Torino,sardinia.Rome;;&****,,,******
360 degree = means no change.
So Sad to Libyan citezen your country is one of the richest in Africa before the fall of your government.
My sympathy to those who loss their love ones and all Libyan citizen.
Oh noes. Have the open air slave markets been washed away?
The End is near!
I just realize that morroco, lybia and turkey are near
Is that your usa education showing?
Islam .. Allah loves hes servents so much.🤣
The world would send aid if they were allowed. Access is very restricted; broken single track road. According to Bbc World Service,rival parties,capitalising on dam failure!
Said as it is! Has it helped kicking the regime out? Not a political person doesn’t take much to work it out!
Inna lilahi wa Inna ilayhi rajioon.
From God we came unto Him is our return

HALLELU-YAHUAH,
Luke 21:25-26
King James Version
25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;
26 Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
O God here we go how much is this going to cost the tax payer I wonder??
Climate change is no joke.
Storms are more frequent, powerful and come from unexpected directions
Folks need to take the weather much more seriously
God basically did that to my life in 2012. Gutted and leveled my life and turned it all around.
MENA the land of tragic accidents. What is next one? Tehran earthquake?
Rember. Lots of people. Daying in Ukraine need less ley
What's your point if I may ask
The 2 dams collapsed because Britain France and America destroyed the infrastructure of Libya over ten years ago. It was the wealtiest African nation...
😢😢😢😢
The inevitable biblical devastation has started. Plenty more scenes like this to come over the next 100 years.
Getting rid of Gaddafi wasn’t a good idea.
Where is America?
Between Canada and Mexico
BBC news reporter becomes hijabi women 😂😂😂
Because of ignoring them of bibles
Lol😂
True, under Khadafi this country is one of the richest in the region.
Oh no,they're forcing her to cover her hair😂
I know, but when they come to the west, they don't want to comply with Western rules
No she's not forced, she's doing it out of respect. Even western women cover their heads when going to funerals, I mean some do it now since the culture is changing.
Don't want don't come, simple!
What's up with all the lies about no one helping the locals, look through the other channels and see actual news.
The people who lost their lives is a tragedy and cannot be explained as to why, only God knows the answer. But as far as the infrastructure and what I'm seeing on video, I'm guessing its about $500.00 dollars worth of damage.
😭😭😭😭😭 💔😭💔💔💔💔💔💔💔😭😭😭😭💔💔💔💔💔
Useless thoughts and prayers 😂😂😂
🥀🍏🍋🫐🍅🌴🌸🍎🌲🌺Thanks for sharing this informations and MANY THANKS to LIBYA RED CRESCENT 🌙 for their huge assistance . 🌺🥭🍓🌼🍀🌹🍉🍐🌴🏵️
The same people who were dancing in the streets on 9/11, and the same people who slaughter so many animals during Ramadan the streets are filled with blood, and treat dogs and cats like discarded trash....
Hmmm, true
witch hunt sound about right thing to do here
World War One and World Two. How many pigs were killed by European thugs.. millions and millions.. today Ukraine and Rusia killing each other.. pigs
Allahhuakbar
Blame kaddafi for his shabby 3rd class constructions. On the other hand, he had embezzled over 500 billion dollars with a big smile.
Libya was in better shape under gaddafi’s rule. You’re just an ignorant person who doesn’t know what’s really going on.
Pretty sure he's not to blame and he's been dead a long time. I wouldn't be surprised if we weren't responsible after destroying Libya and getting an old man murdered in the streets.
@Englishelectrictype4 he had built the dam, not allahuakbar.
@globetrotter5751 Typically ignorant comment.
The dame l cracked recently, 3 years ago ! (Qaddafi dies more than 10 years ago)
The two governments did not at least remedy the damage in the cracks ! Its their fault , having two Un functional governments
allah of islam punished lybia for not wanting to build a good relationship with Israel.
Anytime Gaddafi name come up , White people will turn off comment sections .
Saudian Allah bstrd is the responsible .
__ Natural disaster in infidel countries .
The peacefulls : Allah is punishing them for being infidels
__ Natural disaster in Peacefull countries .
The Peacefulls : confused computing sounds
This was not a natural disaster. This was man made.
@@joshua6244 maintenance of government property stopped after Qazzafi fell
No need to make. Jokes Allah. Can. Make this. Any where in the. World
Very sad but what’s worse the Chinese now will come in and rebuild
Allah wasnt so akbar, eh.
This is what happens when Muslims disobey Allah and forget their duties in Islam.
STOP !
SAD
Karma remember what these done to Muammar Gaddafi pray for Muammar Gaddafi ungrateful people
What’s the chance that this was deliberate I think a lot of these things are deliberate. Is this not an area that many many people have been leaving and swarming Italy, European coast lines prior to this incident as refugees there saying 7000 of them landed up in boats in Italy
