"Devastating Floods and Earthquake Claim Thousands of Lives in Libya"

The floods in eastern Libya have devastated the city of Derna, destroying a quarter of the city and raising the death toll to 5,300. The floods were caused by storm waters that washed away people, cars, and buildings after two dams collapsed. The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies reported that bodies are lying in the streets, and the International Organization for Migration stated that 30,000 people have been rendered homeless. The flooding has also impacted migrants hoping to reach Europe. International aid organizations are calling for funds to assist the displaced population.
