More than 22 tonnes of food and humanitarian aid was presented to Libya’s Derna by PICA. When Raed Qazmouz and his team of Palestinian first responders finally reached Derna last week, he was stunned by the sheer scale of disaster in Libya’s flooded Mediterranean city. But the shock felt in Derna by him and his team – which included 22 water search-and-rescue specialists – was palpable. “The people here told us Derna was the most beautiful city in Libya,” he said. The PICA mission has worked in 56 countries across Africa, Asia, the Caribbean and Latin America.
