Biweekly Health Sector Libya Operational Updates 1-15 January 2021 Biweekly health sector Libya operational updates 1-15 January 2021 Ongoing activities, accomplishments, issues and challenges for the reported period and upcoming plans Name of organization (1-15 January 2021) ACF Not reported AICS Not reported CEFA As CEFA started working on its transfund project “Hand in Hand for better healthcare in the south west” in September 2020 to contribute to promoting more inclusive and more accessible health care services in Sebha, Shawerif, Brak al Shati, Murzuk and Quatrum municipalities. The project aims at a) upgrading 13 Health facilities through the supply of medical equipment and rehabilitation, repair and maintenance works; b) strengthening the knowledge and skills of health personnel (medical and paramedical) to provide good quality and inclusive health services. This will be achieved by training and coaching the hospitals’ staff. The Action aims also promoting social cohesion and inclusion through the collaboration between local actors in order to foster better public health services. This will be achieved by establishing a local multi-stakeholder group to assess the community needs, set up local strategies for more inclusive Health services and foster vulnerable groups integration. In last couple of weeks, CEFA is preparing the process of Technical need Assessment for the needs in the targeted health facilities of medical equipment, rehabilitation and maintenance, and training. In CEFA transfund project at Zawia city, the rehabilitation works of the pediatric ward are on-going in Zawia teaching hospital. In addition, CEFA is working on the plan to implement three campaigns in the community of Zawia: Awareness and Prevention of Covid-19 for vulnerable people; Awareness and Prevention of Covid-19 for parents and families; Awareness and Prevention of Covid-19 for children. Chemonics Not reported Common Feedback The ETS-managed Common Feedback Mechanism addressed more than 19,160 calls for more than 10,652 individuals (28% of whom were Mechanism (ETS sector) female), of which 68% were COVID-19 related. The remaining (32%) were related to humanitarian services,66% from refugees, 14% from IDPs and 14% were from non-displaced and 3% from Migrant, 1% from Asylum seekers, and 2% from Returnee and others combined. Those calls were mostly about cash (32%), protection services (24%), food assistance (19%), health sector (10%), ETC sector (6%), Shelter & NFIs sector (7%) and (2%) of the WASH, GBV & Child Protection and education combined. Emergenza Sorrisi Not reported Expertise France Not reported GIZ Improve functionality of 5 PHC centres (PHCCs) through IMC in Garabulli (Algarabouli Polyclinic) and Janzour (Abduljalil Martyrs PHCC), Nalut (Sidi Khalifa PHCC), Al Bawanis (Tamanhant PHCU), Zintan (Al Kawassim Western PHCC). The intervention was concluded in November – an end line assessment is conducted in Jan. 2021. The support to 2 PHCCs in the East (Brega and Ajdabiya) is in preparation. A Health Needs Assessment looked at the overall health needs (phase I) in Brega, Ajdabiya, Benghazi and Tobruk. In phase II, the functionality and service availability of the PHCCs in Brega and Ajdabiya (identified with ICO as most in need) will be assessed. GIZ agreed terms with the Health Information Center of the MoH to roll out DHIS2 trainings and IT equipment to PHC and hospital staff of 10 municipalities (Msallata, Al-Shargia, Nalut, Wadi Al Bawanis, Jadu, Hay-Al Andalous, Zliten, Tawergha, Tahuna and Al Jufra). Trainings will start in Hay Alandanlous from the 19th and in Zliten (with participants from Tawergha) from the 26th of January. Support to National COVID-19 Response Plan, a collaborative GIZ Libya Programme COVID-19 response, which is supported by the EU and the German Government. Pillar 2: Risk Communication and Community Engagement - An introductory meeting in Tripoli was held on 16.12. to introduce the revised national COVID-19 preparedness and response plan to the municipal level together with the MECs of the 16 partner municipalities* plus Brak and Tawergha. Starting from February, workshops in the respective municipalities commence to adapt the plan to the municipal level. Pillar 3: Surveillance, RRTs and case investigation - Procurement of three mobile laboratories for Tarhuna, Tobruk und Brak Shate for COVID-19 testing. Delivery is expected between February and April. Pillar 6: IPC: - Ongoing support to Women Training and Development Centres in production of PPEs Pillar 7: Case management: - Procurement for required essential equipment and supplies for COVID-19 testing and treatment for hospitals in Benghazi, Tobruk, Al Zintan, Brak Shate, Garabulli, Zliten and Nalut is processed. Delivery is expected between February and April. Pillar 9: Maintain Essential Services - 5 PHCCs (Al Qassabat PHCC Msallata , Hun and Wadan PHCC in Al Jufra, Western Rawajeh PHCC in Garabulli and Ghadamis PHCC) were selected by MoH to be supported by IMC in the areas of NCDs management, MCH, and mental health services and provision of IHEKs – online trainings will start end of December and procurement of essential medicine and equipment was initiated. * 16 municipalities: Nalut, Ghadamis, Al Zintan, Jadu, Hay-Alandalus, Garabulli, Msallata, Janzour, Zliten, Misurata, Tarhouna, Al Jufra, Al Bawanis, Al Shargia, Edri El Shati, Al Shweyrif ** 8 municipalities: Nalut, Ghadamis, Al Zintan, Garabulli, Msallata, Janzour, Al Jufra, Wadi Al Bawanis Handicap International Not reported Helpcode Within the framework of the EUTF/AICS funded project “Restoring quality health care services in Zawya and Ghat District in Libya” the following activities were implemented: • Training on the Job Medical Team deployed and operating in Ghat district covering Ghat, Tahala and Awainat; • Rehabilitation works at Al Harsha Health Center in Zawya were completed • Rehabilitation work for the Health Centers in Tahala and Awainat started; Tender for provisioning of medical equipment for Zawya selected health facilities under evaluation ICRC Not reported IFRC Not reported IMC BHA funded activities: IMC’s BHA supported mobile medical teams provided 688 medical consultations at 14 different facilities during the first 2 weeks of January. The most common morbidities seen were urinary tract infections (23% of all provided consultations). Our team serving Garyounis IDP Camp near Benghazi provided the highest number of consultations during this period. 615 patients were triaged, of which 400 were females and 215 males. IMC’s specialized doctors continued supporting COVID-19 response in 4 hospitals in Misrata, Benghazi, Sabha, and Tripoli. Despite previous donations from IMC and other outside sources, these hospitals continue to face shortages in critical PPE. IMC, with the involvement of our community health workers, who are part of the mobile medical units, carried out regular health awareness sessions for the patients at the primary health care centers. These awareness sessions are held in groups but still taking the threat of COVID into consideration. Topics are not only decided by IMC staff but also by wishes of the beneficiaries. The range is from general hygiene to communicable diseases including the current threat of COVID-19 related issues. GIZ funded activities During the month of January 2021, IMC continued activities with the support of GIZ aiming to improve the provision of primary health care in Libya. In the Eastern region, the second phase of our three-phase assessment is going through final revision and its results will be shared with the Ministry of Health in the second half of January. 8 Primary Health facilities were assessed during this study, 3 health facilities in Brega and 5 health facilities in Ajdabiya. Once the study is finalized, the results will be used to select 2 Primary Health Care facilities for support: one in Ajdabiya municipality and a second one in Brega municipality. This support will take the form of improving provision of medical commodities, capacity building trainings, and improving provision of health care services through on-site mentoring, as well as community health outreach activities. In the western region, IMC’s team of specialists are preparing for the family practice trainings that will target both nurses and doctors at the primary healthcare level to provide basic services under the essential package of health services. This will be preceded by a one-week orientation and starter session online targeting nurses that will take place starting from the 17th of January. This session will be similar to the online orientation and starter sessions on family practice that targeted medical doctors in December-2020. UNFPA funded programs In the first half of January, IMC’s medical teams continued to provide medical consultations, seeing 540 patients (446 females and 94 males) at the supported health facilities during this period. Along with the provision of medical consultations, IMC conducted several on-job trainings for healthcare providers at the Al Qadessia and Al Jadeed PHCCs on Reproductive Health. 15 healthcare providers were trained through these sessions. As COVID-19 is also a main concern in the medical activities, IMC staff screened 749 patients for signs and symptoms in the first two weeks of January. One suspected case was found and referred to secondary care. IMC carried out health awareness sessions on various health topics during this period. 468 people received health awareness education while waiting for their consultations. 231 female and 237 male patients were reached through these

    Libya: Protect Vulnerable Minorities & Assist Civilians Harmed • The Libyan authorities should work with UNSMIL, IOM, the U.S., and other donors to provide protec- tion for displaced sub-Saharan Africans, including through the adoption of migrant-friendly policies and compliance with human rights obligations. • The Libyan authorities should work with UNSMIL, the U.S., and other donors to protect displaced dark-skinned Libyans, foster reconciliation, and provide long-term solutions for them. • The Libyan authorities should request NATO’s, the U.S’s, and UNSMIL’s long-term commitment, and technical and financial assistance to develop an effective security sector capable of protecting civil- ians. • NATO must fully and transparently investigate, and when appropriate make amends for civilian harm incurred as a result of its military operations in Libya. Similarly, the Libyan authorities should ensure all civilian conflict-losses are accounted for and amends offered to help civilians recover. With the death of Muammar Gaddafi a long-standing dictatorship has come to an end. The majority of Libyans are celebrating a new future; but certain groups, including suspected loyalist civilians, sub-Saharan Africans, and ethnic minorities remain displaced and vulnerable to violent attacks. The National Transitional Council (NTC) – the current de facto government of Libya – lacks command and control over all armed groups, including those responsible for revenge attacks. As such, the NTC cannot yet establish or maintain the rule of law. The plight of these vulnerable civilians foreshadows challenges to reconciliation, integration, and equal treatment of all in the new Libya. Further, civilians suffering losses during hostilities have not been properly recognized or assisted.

    THESIS SEISMICITY OF LIBYA AND RELATED PROBLEMS Submitted by Hassen A. Hassen Department of Civil Engineering In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Science Colorado State University Fort Collins, Colorado Summer, 1983 COLORADO STATE UNIVERSITY Summer, 1983 WE HEREBY RECOMMEND THAT THE THESIS PREPARED UNDER OUR SUPERVISION BY HASSEN A. HASSEN ENTITLED SEISMICITY OF LIBYA AND RELATED PROBLEMS BE ACCEPTED AS FULFILLING IN PART REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF SCIENCE. Committee on Graduate Work Adviser ii ABSTRACT OF THESIS SEISMICITY OF LIBYA AND RELATED PROBLEMS The seismicity of Libya was investigated. Available data of earthquakes, which have occurred in or near Libya during the period 262 A.D. to 1982, have been collected. These data together with geological information are used to investigate the nature of seismic activity and its relationship to the tectonics of the country. Statistical analysis is used to calculate the frequency-magnitude relation for the data in the period from 1963 to 1982. The results indicate that about 140 earthquakes will equal or exceed a Richter magnitude of 5 every 100 years, and one earthquake will equal or exceed a Richter magnitude of 7 every 100 years. The whole country is characterized by low to moderate levels of seismic activity but some segments have experienced large earthquakes in this century and earlier. On the basis of observed and expected seismicity, a four-fold subdivision is suggested defining the activity of the dif­ ferent parts of the country. The highest activity is found to be concentrated in Cyrenaica (northeastern region) and around the Hun graben (northcentral region).

  • (Silurian) Anoxic Palaeo-Depressions at the Western Margin of the Murzuq Basin (Southwest Libya), Based on Gamma-Ray Spectrometry in Surface Exposures
    GeoArabia, Vol. 11, No. 3, 2006 Gulf PetroLink, Bahrain Identification of early Llandovery (Silurian) anoxic palaeo-depressions at the western margin of the Murzuq Basin (southwest Libya), based on gamma-ray spectrometry in surface exposures Nuri Fello, Sebastian Lüning, Petr Štorch and Jonathan Redfern ABSTRACT Following the melting of the Gondwanan icecap and the resulting postglacial sea- level rise, organic-rich shales were deposited in shelfal palaeo-depressions across North Africa and Arabia during the latest Ordovician to earliest Silurian. The unit is absent on palaeohighs that were flooded only later when the anoxic event had already ended. The regional distribution of the Silurian black shale is now well-known for the subsurface of the central parts of the Murzuq Basin, in Libya, where many exploration wells have been drilled and where the shale represents the main hydrocarbon source rock. On well logs, the Silurian black shale is easily recognisable due to increased uranium concentrations and, therefore, elevated gamma-ray values. The uranium in the shales “precipitated” under oxygen- reduced conditions and generally a linear relationship between uranium and organic content is developed. The distribution of the Silurian organic-rich shales in the outcrop belts surrounding the Murzuq Basin has been long unknown because Saharan surface weathering has commonly destroyed the organic matter and black colour of the shales, making it complicated to identify the previously organic-rich unit in the field. In an attempt to distinguish (previously) organic-rich from organically lean shales at outcrop, seven sections that straddle the Ordovician-Silurian boundary were measured by portable gamma-ray spectrometer along the outcrops of the western margin of the Murzuq Basin.
