Spanish magazine "Atalayar" said that the Libyan government expressed its condolences to the victims of the tragic floods, and put itself at Madrid's disposal to provide assistance in the rescue efforts in Valencia.
The tragic floods that occurred last week in various parts of the Spanish Levante region, especially the Valencia region sparked a wave of international solidarity with the victims and those affected, the magazine said, indicating that the Spanish government received a letter from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation in Libya offering to put its armed forces and military personnel at its disposal.
It expressed its appreciation for the commendable efforts made by the Spanish authorities in the rescue and relief operations during the devastating floods that hit the city of Derna and the eastern region of Libya in September 2023.
The Libyan authorities confirmed that "the armed forces were ready to provide support and assistance to the rescue operations, which demonstrated the close relations of friendship and cooperation between the two countries."
The Spanish magazine explained that the Libyan authorities are extremely sensitive to this tragedy that has destroyed many areas.
During the Derna disaster, Madrid responded to requests for help by sending specialized relief teams and several tons of equipment, and directing more than one million euros in humanitarian aid through the Spanish Cooperation Agency and the International Development Agency.
