Libya's eastern authorities have postponed a reconstruction conference for the flood-hit city of Derna to allow for the submission of effective studies and projects. The conference, originally planned for 10 October, was met with international skepticism. The eastern administration has invited the "international community" to attend the conference, but there has been no support from the interim government. The United States has called on Libyans to set aside political differences and provide aid to the affected areas. The creation of a fund for reconstruction has been announced, but no details on financing have been provided.
