According to the report of the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, Libya has become “one of the driest countries in the world,” as its groundwater level has declined in most areas of the country, and pressure has increased on the man-made river, which provides about 60% of the fresh water used in Libya.
Justin Brady, head of the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs in Libya said that “we are deeply concerned about the volatile weather and climate change in Libya” and “that individuals and the humanitarian organizations will not be able to manage the crisis.”
It is worth noting that Libya is among the least prepared countries to deal with the impacts of climate change on a global level. The World Bank has stated that Libya could be a source of climate migration by 2050.
