@ShababLibya LibyanYouthMovement: Nafusa Mountains 23rd May: Yefren and Al-Galaa: Today, heavy rain on Al-Galaa, but lighter on Yefren…Women and children went out of caves in the mountain, to collect water in some large plates and pots… It is a rare opportunity to get clean water pots to collect water as it rare to get rain in this time of the year.
Water supply had been bombed by Gadaffi’s forces earlier this week. Unfortunately, this rain was just a short reprive. The Nafusa Mountians are still in a dire humanitarian situation.
