.A new study has found that the boost in ground erosion in seaside regions as a result of desertification is actually worsening flood influence on Middle Eastern and Northern African port metropolitan areas. The researchers centered their reviews on the terrible 2023 floods in the city of Derna, Libya, which took the daily lives of more than 11,300 people and also demonstrated how the boost in dirt destruction dramatically resulted in the tragic toll of these unique desert floods. The analysis was actually posted almost a year after the lethal flooding occurred on the September 10, 2023.
