.A brand new research study has found that the increase in ground destruction in seaside regions due to desertification is actually worsening flooding influence on Middle Eastern as well as North African port metropolitan areas. The scientists focused their reviews on the disastrous 2023 floodings in the urban area of Derna, Libya, which took the lives of much more than 11,300 people as well as demonstrated how the rise in soil destruction substantially contributed to the tragic toll of these unique desert floodings. The study was published practically a year after the lethal flooding occurred on the September 10, 2023.
