Indonesia sends 46 tons of humanitarian assistance to LibyaJakarta (ANTARA) - The Indonesian government sent 46 tons of humanitarian assistance, worth Rp13.9 billion (around US$895,734), for people affected by floods in Libya that were caused by Storm Daniel that struck the country in early September 2023. "Considering the large losses caused by the floods, the Indonesian government, as one of Libya's friendly countries, sent assistance to relieve (the burden of) our brothers and sisters there," Daeli remarked at the Soekarno Hatta Airport on Monday morning. He noted that the 46 tons of logistics and equipment assistance comprised tents, clothing, carpentry tools, water distillation tools, ready-to-eat meals, and hygiene equipment. According to Daeli, the provision of Indonesian assistance to Libya is part of Indonesia's solidarity in humanity for the world's communities. Earlier, the International Organization for Migration (IOM), on Thursday (September 21, 2023), reported that more than 43 thousand people had been displaced due to the massive floods in eastern Libya.
