Over the past few days, countries in North Africa have witnessed strong weather disturbances, characterized by strong winds exceeding 90 kilometers per hour, touchingLibya**Tunisia** and **Algeria**, and led to varying material damage and the disruption of a number of vital facilities, amid continuous official warnings to citizens.
In Libya, the authorities in the western region declared a state of emergency and decided to suspend studies in more than 35 municipalities, including Greater Tripoli, Al-Zawiya, Zuwara, and the cities of Al-Jabal, with the aim of limiting movement and avoiding accidents. It was also decided to suspend studies and administrative work at the University of Tripoli for one day, in conjunction with raising the ambulance and emergency services to the maximum level of readiness.
The measures taken included calling on residents of buildings threatened by collapse to evacuate immediately, at a time when activities stopped inside four major oil ports, namely Ras Lanuf, Zueitina, Brega and Sidra, as a result of bad weather conditions.
On the other hand, the authorities in eastern Libya, specifically in the city of Benghazi, did not announce the suspension of studies, relying on meteorological data that confirmed the limited impact of the storm, while merely warning citizens of the need to be careful while moving.
As for Tunisia, the National Institute of Meteorology has placed most states under a high warning level, with winds recorded at speeds of about 110 kilometers per hour. The Civil Protection Services called on citizens to stay in their homes and not go out unless absolutely necessary, warning of the dangers of falling trees and electricity poles.
These developments come in the context of continuous climate fluctuations that Tunisia has been witnessing for more than a week, causing floods that claimed the lives of five people, in addition to the loss of two people at sea and the recovery of the bodies of two sailors.
In Algeria, civil protection services announced the recording of more than 530 interventions since January 27, covering 34 states, due to strong winds that caused the fall of hundreds of trees, the interruption of electrical cables, and the collapse of lighting poles, in addition to partial damage to a number of buildings.
These incidents resulted in the injury of 17 people in several states, including Algiers, Oran, Chlef, Blida, Skikda and Guelma, where the injured were transferred to hospitals to receive the necessary treatment.
The Algerian authorities confirmed the continued state of alert for rapid intervention when needed, calling on citizens to strictly adhere to safety instructions and avoid risks during these difficult weather conditions.
