Libya Hit Hard by Deadly Hurricane-Triggered Floods

In Libya, a catastrophic scenario unfolded as hurricanes and floods wreaked havoc in two coastal cities of Libya. Benghazi and Darna in Libya bore the brunt of this natural disaster, resulting in the tragic loss of 150 lives, with an additional 100 individuals reported missing. The Red Crescent organization, actively operating within Libya, provided information about these grim developments. Torrential rains in Libya’s Benghazi and Darna caused rivers to overflow, sweeping away dozens of people and vehicles, and the death toll is anticipated to rise to 250. The mayor of Darna described the hurricane’s impact as devastating, leading to the city’s destruction, including massive mudslides, collapsed buildings, and entire neighborhoods submerged underwater. A spokesperson for the Benghazi-based administration, Mohammad Masoud, disclosed that 150 people lost their lives, and many others sustained injuries as a result of the floods and torrential rains unleashed by storm Daniel in Darna, the Jabal al-Akhdar area, and Al Marj suburbs. This calamity inflicted extensive damage on both government and private properties. Prime Minister Osama Hamad, accompanied by other high-ranking officials, journeyed to the affected area in Derna to assess the extent of the devastation. Hamad’s government, in competition with the UN-brokered, internationally recognized interim administration in Tripoli, officially declared Derna a disaster area. Consequently, curfews were imposed in the coastal cities of Jabal al-Akhdar and Benghazi, while schools remained closed for several days. Tragically, during a rescue operation in the city, Eastern Libyan authorities lost contact with nine soldiers, leaving hundreds of residents still trapped in flood-affected areas of Libya.

Scientists succeeded in generating electricity from deadly bacteria. The invention could revolutionize both waste disposal and energy production sectors.

Lausanne (APP) In a breakthrough, scientists in Switzerland have succeeded in generating electricity from the deadly E. coli bacteria. It could revolutionize both waste disposal and energy production sectors. Bioelectronics experts at Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) in Lausanne, Switzerland, succeeded in generating electricity from bacteria under different conditions. The team used a process called extracellular electron transfer (EET) to make the bacteria highly electromotive. This process resulted in a 3-fold increase in electricity production compared to conventional methods. According to research published in the journal Jol, the researchers were able to create a complete EET pathway within E. coli. This feat has never been achieved before. “We have enabled E.coli bacteria to generate electricity,” says EPFL Professor Ardimus Bou Ghosian. This bacteria is the microscopic organism that has been studied the most. Although E. coli is a special type of bacteria that naturally produces electricity, it can only do so in the presence of certain chemicals. E-coli can grow on many things, which has enabled us to generate electricity in many types of environments, including wastewater.
