Now the Sacramento Libyan community is responding and trying to raise funds to help their loved ones in the disaster zone. The catastrophic flooding was caused by the Mediterranean's Storm Daniel, which dumped 6 to 9 inches of rain across most of eastern Libya. Kamal Sherkasi, a board member with the Libyan-American Organization in Sacramento, said the infrastructure in Libya is very old. Now, the Sacramento Libyan community is trying to help by setting up fundraisers to send back supplies and money to those impacted.
