The Libyan Minister of Civil Aviation in the eastern administration of Libya, Hisham Chkiouat, told reporters on Wednesday that hospitals in eastern Libya are unable to accommodate all the victims of the fatal floods.

Due to this, some patients will need to be transferred to hospitals in the central part of the country, he noted.

"All hospitals in the eastern region are admitting the injured, their number is growing rapidly. I do not think hospitals in the east can admit such a number [of patients], however, efforts to transfer many of them to hospitals in the central region and in Sirte is underway," Chkiouat said.

The Minister added that rescue teams from Turkey, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Algeria, Tunisia, and France have landed in the country.
