Two Dead as Torrential Floods Hit Tripoli

Torrential downpours swept through Tripoli on Tuesday, causing severe flooding that killed two people and inundated roads across the Libyan capital.

Emergency crews and the Tripoli Red Crescent recovered the body of a bank employee who died from an electric shock, as well as another man whose vehicle was submerged in rising floodwaters.

Eyewitnesses reported widespread destruction, with heavy runoff submerging numerous cars and flooding residential streets.
