How to Help Libya Flood Survivors

Flooding in eastern Libya has swept away entire homes and devastated communities. Suggested organizations to support humanitarian relief as well as resources to support our faculty, learners, and staff.

Dear UCSF Community,

For the second time within a week, a natural disaster has led to significant loss of life in North Africa. Flooding in eastern Libya, exacerbated by the collapse of two dams after a massive storm, has swept away entire homes and devastated communities. If you are looking for organizations to support in the humanitarian relief effort getting underway in Libya, you may want to consider the following:

While the full impact of the flooding is not yet known, it is certain that the people of Libya will need assistance in the days and months ahead. As we learn more of the tragedies in Libya and Morocco, we will continue to support our faculty, students, learners, and staff who have family and friends in these regions. If you could benefit from direct assistance, please contact UCSF’s Faculty and Staff Assistance Program and Student Health and Counseling Services.

Sincerely,

Sam Hawgood, MBBS
