  1. Gaddafi irrigated Libya, with vast amounts of infrastructure. With no cohesive government repairs will not be made, such a shame…The west has tried to impose western morality with disastrous results…

  2. And yet their devotion to their "god" will go unwavering

  3. dont get help Libya, until you have humble yourself to Allah

  4. What is the use of your powerless condolence from your vacuum heart? They need Jesus alone.

  5. They need to turn to Jesus.

  6. Dude…😳 looks like the apocalypse 🤯💔

  7. They live at sea level, and below. In sand. What did they expect wood happen. What can a person say. Hopes and prayers. God bless

  8. My heart goes out to all of the victims of the catastrophic flooding at burning man 😭

  9. Now you will remember qadaffi

  10. Video would have greater effect if it showed the before pictures for contrast. Nobody knows what it looked like before the flood.

  11. horrible images. As if an atomic bomb had been dropped, or worse. Thousands of people disappeared in an instant, tens of thousands are missing. There were bodies all the way to the land of different countries in the Mediterranean. Many of the bodies have been eaten, maybe even eaten by the copepods. I am 45 years old and after the Japanese Tsunami and the terrible earthquake in Turkey this year, this is the most horrible sight I have ever seen. God help the survivors 🙁 pray for Lıbya

  12. Not to mention the human life’s and the sweat, the effort, the dedication to make it beautiful for hundreds of decades, gets washed way without a turning point. This is heartbreaking 💔.. Libya has been thru a lot. This was too much..

  13. Yet another entirely man-made disaster.
    Do not even TRY to suggest this is natural. It is not.

  14. I pray father God helps all the people I feel so bad for them in Yahushua's name

  15. This so sad 💧 my sympathy’s and prayers to them and may go help them in Jesus Christ name because last night throughout the night I was up praying for them and sometimes in tears thinking that’s a lot of people and asking god to grant then a new repentance and allow them to enter heaven so they could see their families again. The times are here especially because these bloodlines arrives before the pandemic and a king and prophet arrived and I’m king David spirit or maybe even him I don’t know everything but the times are closer 💧 everyone repent and be born again and make it to heaven let that be your offering to me I don’t know want money I want you to enter heaven. What pastor has ever said that ? Poor people 💧 I now know why I tear a lot because I’m a king and prophet. I believe trump and km are causing these thing’s because they angered god but many are angering god throughout the world but trump and km are the cause of adding fuel to gods anger. They show no sympathy for these horrible things and why ? Scary

  16. You could have listened to the scientists and the earth about 50 years ago to prevent this but no, the oil pigs needed their money. Looks like its time for a well deserved 6th mass extinction event.

  17. What flooding? I sense another NWO money laundering scam being planned.

  18. Crazy, I want to see more of Maui

  19. Where Oprah and the Rock Dwayne

  20. Allah's torment happens like this to these people who once killed their innocent honest king Muammar Gaddafi

  21. This silent footage was the perfect approach. This is unreal. God have Mercy

  22. sadness beyond measure 😢 🙏🕯🏵

  23. This is what you get when you're an engineer yourself and you're not visioning what could be up ahead in the future. An engineer should know better tsk tsk tsk

  24. Gives off the same vibes as bombed out Berlin post WWII.

  25. Don't forget Libya is a country with so much crime that our government tells us to get out while we can. Don't travel to Libya. There's too much crime. so……

  26. Where is Opera and The Rock now?!?!

  27. Earthquake in Morocco. Dams bursting in Libya.. Dead and dying homeless drug addicts living in tents, overdosing in Feyntnol on our streets in Seattle, San Francisco and every other beautiful city is falling into ruin. I beleive that Mother Earth and the Angels in our Universe have had just about enough with our nonsense! There is no more golden pathway to America! No dreams are being found here or anywhere anymore. Mother Liberty put down your torch. We no longer have the food, the space nor the revenue to support the millions running to the USA. WE SHOULD CLOSE SHOP. HANG UP THE SIGN AND GO HOME. You can keep your tired and your poor. You're huddled masses yearning to breathe free.. go back home and let the US die in peace.

  28. High intensity rain fall events are occurring more frequently in many places across the world.

  29. I don't mean to denigrate the victims and families in Libya. But I do wonder why it is that a disaster in Libya, that's not even a neighbor, gets more air time than the disaster in Hawaii?

  30. Praying for everyone effected by flood waters lord give them strength to get through this hard devistating time

  31. its just mother nature, its an old river flow to ocean

  32. Holy… I didn’t realize how… literally the entire city..- Not just parts of it, as I’d thought. I don’t know what words to say.. 😰

  33. May God have mercy and rest the souls of those that died.
