Depending on where you live in America, this could happen to you, too. Hopefully we remember that infrastructure is important before something like that happens.

First. It's a tragic event that occurred and my codolences to all the families affected. I really hope things there can be recovered. Same with Morocco and the earthquake that happened there.

But the weirdest thing about it this all are floods occurring in Libya? That country is in the Sahara right?

Yes, but they still border a sea.

Having two points of major disasters in close proximity is prime setup for a third via disease spread. There's a sizeable country between them, but that may not matter if rats are allowed to proliferate before they manage to clean up.

UN is saying there was no evacuation so deaths could have been prevented.

I'd ask why but Libya is so fucked up ever since Gaddafi was overthrown, guessing some combination of government corruption or incompetence. Just fucking horrible.

NHK says the heavy rains made the river near Derna overflow and then broke the 2 dams nearby.

Broken roads and no communications is making relief operations difficult.

Because no matter what, it's "just some 3rd world country in Africa".

Remember the media bias with Ukraine and how much they emphasized how it's crazy that such a thing was happening to white people? Not to take away from the war, but ffs it was offensive
