.A brand-new research study has located that the rise in soil disintegration in coastal locations as a result of desertification is actually exacerbating flooding influence on Middle Eastern as well as Northern African port cities. The analysts focused their observations on the destructive 2023 floods in the area of Derna, Libya, which took the lives of more than 11,300 individuals as well as demonstrated how the boost in soil destruction significantly added to the devastating cost of these uncommon desert floods. The investigation was actually published just about a year after the lethal flooding took place on the September 10, 2023.
