Between September 23rd and 25th, 2026, a moderate flood occurred in Libya that sadly resulted in three deaths. This event shows how water can quickly collect on the ground during heavy weather, even in dry regions.
What is a flood? A flood happens when water covers land that is normally dry. This usually occurs when heavy rain falls faster than the soil can absorb it or when nearby rivers overflow. In dry areas, the ground can be so hard that water pools on the surface instead of sinking into the earth.
If you see rising water, move to higher ground immediately and never try to walk or drive through flowing floodwaters.
