23,866 pregnant women were impacted by the floods

Conditions look dire for pregnant women especially. [USA for UNFPA]( After catastrophic flooding in Libya, aid is urgently needed as conditions look dire for pregnant women especially: [NPR: Survivors of Libya’s floods include 20,000 pregnant women who need health care]( [RUSH A DONATION]( Ahmad Algeriany, a Program Specialist with UNFPA, spoke with NPR about the situation on the ground in Libya. "Whole neighborhoods — we're talking about whole neighborhoods — were flooded, collapsed and carried away to the middle of the sea, along with the people inside them. We're talking 10-, 12-stories buildings collapsed and carried with the powerful stream to the depths of the Mediterranean, large numbers of families gone, as it happened suddenly after midnight." 23,866 pregnant women were impacted by the floods, including an estimated 2,625 expectant mothers who will give birth in the next month. In Derna, six primary health care centers were submerged and flooded. "Most of the materials and devices were damaged. And also, the staff that has been working in those facilities also were in the community which was damaged, severely damaged, and lost their lives," said Algeriany. "The UNFPA is providing at least five teams now to those facilities," he added. "For primary health care and immediate health care, the people of Derna or the affected people in the shelters go to the health care facilities that have been established by the government and the UNFPA and other sister agencies in the U.N."
