The photo shows the 2014 floods in Genoa, not those in Libya.

A Facebook account published a photograph on September 12th, claiming that the images show the September floods in Libya.

After fact-checking by hibrid.info, it has been confirmed that the photo was not taken in Libya, but depicts the floods in Genoa of Italy, in 2014.

After research conducted through the automated online program “InVID”, hibrid.info managed to find this photograph published in 2014 in an article by the Italian media “Genovatoday.it”. (see here)

Analyze:

A Facebook account has reported on floods that occurred in Libya during September, but the image featured in the post does not show footage of this natural disaster. The same photo was taken in 2014 during floods in Genoa, Italy.

Based on its work methodology, hibrid.info rates this post as "Unverified Content".


Reasoning:

The “Unverified” rating is given to those media reports that do not provide sufficient information to confirm the claims made in the report, and which have not been able to confirm the same due to the lack or non-possession of reliable sources.
