The UK government has announced up to £1m in support for Libya, while the King and Queen have said they are "desperately saddened" by the devastating floods.

King Charles III sent a message to the head of Libya's Presidential Council, Dr Mohamed Menfi, yesterday evening.

The King said: "We mourn with all those who have lost their loved ones, and continue to pray for everyone whose lives and livelihoods have been affected by the horrific floods.

"I admire greatly all those who are engaged tirelessly in the rescue efforts in such dire conditions, and praise their selfless bravery."

The Foreign Office said that it is working with organisations on the ground to target those with the most urgent needs with issues like shelter, healthcare and sanitation.
