'More than 5,000 people are presumed dead and 10,000 missing after heavy rains in northeastern Libya caused two dams to collapse, surging more water into already inundated areas,' CNN reported on Tuesday, September 12, 2023.
The four Indians from Punjab, Haryana, were on Thursday seen off at the Benina Airport by the embassy's local representative Tabassum Mansoor.
"All Indians, numbering around 18,000, are safe in Libya. We are following the situation closely. Presently, disturbances have mainly been reported in north-eastern region of Benghazi, Derna, Baida and Turbuk," an External Affairs Ministry spokesperson said.
