AP’S ASSESSMENT: False.

following massive flooding in Libya over the weekend, social media users are circulating videos claiming to show scenes of the devastation in real time.

One widely shared clip shows a dry, sandy riverbed on the edge of a community of squat concrete buildings the moment that brown, debris-filled flood waters barrel through. Vehicles driving on a bridge spanning the channel quickly reverse course or veer wildly to avoid the churning, chocolate-looking waters as they rush over the riverbanks and pour over the roadway.

“TRAGIC: Massive flood have hit Libya, and reportedly, more than 5300 people have been confirmed dead so far - Death toll could reach above 10,000 say officials,” wrote a Facebook user that shared the 30-second clip earlier this week. While the user correctly reported on the dire situation in the North African nation, the video included with their post was shot more than seven years ago and on another continent more than 1,700 miles away., or a normally dry ravine or valley that floods during rainy season, in the Saudi Arabian community of Al Farshah in April 2016, according to news outlets in the country that shared the video at the time.
