Dust storm blankets Libya in orange haze, disrupting flights

A severe dust storm blanketed Libya in an orange haze Tuesday, significantly reducing visibility and disrupting air travel. Flights were temporarily suspended at Benghazi and Tripoli international airports due to the storm. Libya, situated near the Sahara Desert, frequently experiences such seasonal weather events. The dust storms, typically occurring in spring, are caused by strong winds lifting dry soil. Benghazi, the second-largest city, was particularly affected by the dense haze.
