Nearly 3,000 individuals have been displaced in Alkufra and Rabiana (southeastern Libya) after heavy rains caused flooding and a power outage on 11 August 2024. According to field reports, around 600 individuals, including 50 Sudanese families, are sheltered in four schools, one guesthouse and one health centre in Alkufra and Rabiana (around 120 km west of Alkufra). Others have recently left the schools where they were taking refuge because of poor access to water and sanitation due to overcrowding.
