Jazan Dam Warns Libya of More Disasters

Officials in the Libyan Red Crescent's emergency room warned on Tuesday about the potential collapse of the Jazan Dam in the town of Brss, northeastern Libya, as the number of flood victims has exceeded 5,200. The source indicated, "If the Jazan Dam collapses, a disaster will occur in the city of Brss." Warning: The mayor of the Town of Toukra cautioned against the collapse of the Wadi Jaza Dam south of Brss, similar to what happened at the Derna Dam. The Jazan Dam, located in the town of Brss, stands over 200 feet tall. Residents have noted that when the rains intensified, the dam overflowed towards residential areas, leading to water sweeping away buildings and vehicles.
