Libya floods: At least 10,000 people missing, thousands killed after Storm Daniel causes burst dams
About a quarter of Libya's eastern city of Derna was wiped out after dams burst in a storm, the administration in the area said on Tuesday, and the Red Cross said as many as 10,000 people were feared to be missing across the country in floods.
Libyan military commander Khalifa Haftar announced during a televised address that rescue and relief efforts are underway to assist those impacted by the country's flooding.
“We issued immediate instructions to use all our capabilities, provide the needed support of all urgent medical equipment, operate medical convoys and to allocate shelters to those who lost their homes,” he said.
At least 1,000 bodies had already been recovered in the city of Derna alone, and officials expected the death toll would be much higher, after Storm Daniel barrelled across the Mediterranean.
