TRIPOLI, Oct. 6 (Xinhua) -- The UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) on Friday said it has provided 35 tonnes of humanitarian supplies for eastern Libya, which was hit by deadly floods last month.
These supplies, shipped from UNHCR's stockpile in Dubai, the United Arab Emirates, were unloaded at the Benina International Airport near the eastern Libyan city of Benghazi, the UN agency said in a statement.
It added that the shipment contains plastic sheets, blankets, solar lamps, kitchen sets, and other essentials.
On Sept. 10, Mediterranean storm Daniel triggered Libya's worst floods in decades, resulting in the death of thousands of people and widespread damage to the region's infrastructure.
