"Devastating Floods in Libya: Death Toll Soars, Urgent Unity Needed"

The death toll from the catastrophic flooding in the Libyan city of Derna could reach between 18,000 to 20,000, according to the city's mayor. The flood, caused by a powerful storm, has already claimed the lives of thousands of people, with buildings collapsing and many swept out to sea. Rescue workers are appealing for more body bags as they continue to search for missing relatives. International aid efforts, including teams specialized in recovering bodies, have been mobilized to assist in the rescue operations. The devastation has left the city without water, electricity, or petrol, and officials estimate that at least 10,000 people are missing.
