According to the DFA, there are an estimated 1,100 Filipinos in eastern Libya, of which 90 are residing in the areas badly hit by Storm Daniel.

There are also 30 Filipinos in the district of Dema, 50 in the district of Jabel al Akhdar, and 10 in Tobruk.

"The Filipinos in these areas are mostly nurses and clinical instructors," the agency said.

The Philippine Embassy in Libya, in coordination with the Filipino community leaders in the affected areas, said that Filipinos were relocated to higher grounds by hospital management.

"The Filipinos, as nurses continue to work in hospitals," it said.
