New York 19 September 2023 (Lana) Deputy Spokesman for the Secretary-General of the UN, Farhan Haq, stressed the importance of opening an investigation into the causes of the collapse of the Derna dam and the massive losses it caused to lives and property.

The spokesman said in a press statement that opening a UN investigation into this disaster concerns the authorities on the ground.

Haq said, "We may conduct an investigation in the future, and the UN does not conduct investigations unless the Security Council requests it to do so. We are trying to make sure that the authorities on the ground are the ones who will conduct these investigations, and this is very important."

Regarding the United Nations appeal to raise $71 million for Libya, the spokesman explained that this appeal was last Thursday, and we are still waiting to see what will happen. There is a lot of support from many countries for Libya, and we hope that this moral support will be translated into funds collected.
