"Devastating Floods Claim Thousands of Lives in Libya's Derna"

The death toll in Libya's coastal city of Derna has risen to 11,300 following massive floods caused by breached dams and heavy rains. Another 10,100 people are reported missing, and the storm has killed about 170 people in other parts of the country. The flooding has exposed vulnerabilities in Libya, which has been plagued by conflict since 2011. Search and rescue efforts are ongoing, with hopes of finding survivors. Derna has begun burying its dead in mass graves, and access to the city remains severely hampered. The UN has called for better emergency management systems and maintenance of critical infrastructure.
