An Arab City Threatened by Drowning.. Calls to Declare a State of Emergency

The Libyan city of Zliten is facing the danger of drowning after the rise in groundwater levels, flooding the land, which has terrified its residents who have been forced to flee to other areas amid fears of erosion and the collapse of infrastructure. This is occurring despite government interventions to address the continuous influx of water from below the ground and efforts to find a solution to this unprecedented natural phenomenon. The coastal city, located east of the capital Tripoli, teeters on the brink of disaster as part of its land has submerged, several of its buildings have been damaged, its agricultural crops have died, and services within the city have been disrupted due to the rising water level spreading to several areas in the region, all while the authorities struggle to find solutions to this crisis.
