Storm Daniel hit the city of Derna and other areas in eastern Libya.
Rescue teams in eastern Libya have retrieved hundreds of bodies from the rubble in a coastal city that has been hit by devastating floods, a humanitarian agency said.Mediterranean storm Daniel caused devastating floods in many towns in eastern Libya but the worst destruction was in Derna, where heavy rainfall and floods broke dams and washed away entire neighbourhoods, authorities said.
Ossama Hamad, prime minister of the east Libya government, said that several thousand people were missing in the city and many of them were believed to have been carried away after two upstream dams burst. Mr Abduljaleel said the city was inaccessible and bodies were scattered across it, according to Libya’s state-run news agency.
Storm Daniel hit other areas in eastern Libya, including the town of Bayda, where about 50 people were reported dead.
