Tripoli, Libya – (African Boulevard News) – In the aftermath of a devastating flood that struck the city of Derna, in eastern Libya, a group of dedicated volunteers in Tripoli has come forward to offer their support. Skilled workers at a women’s training and development center in the capital are manufacturing and delivering much-needed outfits to those affected by the disaster.
The flood, which hit Derna unexpectedly, resulted in widespread damage to homes and infrastructure, leaving many residents homeless and struggling to cope. Recognizing the urgent need for assistance, the volunteers in Tripoli took it upon themselves to lend a helping hand.
Under the initiative organized by the women’s training and development center, the skilled workers have been working tirelessly to produce a range of outfits to cater to the needs of individuals affected by the flood.

“We saw the devastation that the flood caused in Derna, and we knew we had to do something. Our team at the women’s training and development center quickly mobilized and started manufacturing the outfits,” said Fatima Ahmed, the coordinator of the relief efforts.
The outfits, designed to provide comfort and practicality, are being specifically tailored to suit the different age groups and sizes of the flood victims. This attention to detail ensures that each individual receives clothing that fits them properly, guaranteeing a sense of dignity during these challenging times.
Since the initiative started, the volunteers have successfully delivered hundreds of outfits to Derna, bringing some relief and hope to the affected residents. The efforts of these selfless individuals have not gone unnoticed, with the community expressing their gratitude for the much-needed support.
“These volunteers have truly shown the spirit of humanity and solidarity. Their generosity is a shining example of how communities can come together in times of crisis,” said Ibrahim Hassan, a local resident in Derna.
