On 10 September 2023 Storm Daniel hit northeastern Libya, leading to substantial rainfall and sudden floods in the coastal areas and cities. The subsequent collapse of the Mansour and Derna dams severely compounded damages across Derna municipality.
As of October 2023, DTM estimates 44,862 IDPs were displaced across Libya due to the flooding. Out of these, Derna municipality hosts the highest number of IDPs, with 23,500 displaced as a result of the floods caused by Storm Daniel.
This dashboard shows the findings on IDP locations and needs for Derna municipality. The findings for all municipalities currently hosting IDPs due to floods can be accessed here: Libya — Impact of Storm Daniel: An Update on Displacement and Needs (November 2023).
