"Deadly Floods in Libya Expose Land Mine Threat and Government Inaction"

TL;DR Summary
The death toll continues to rise in the eastern Libyan city of Derna following devastating floods, with thousands reported dead and over 10,000 missing. Survivors now face the additional threat of displaced land mines in the surrounding areas, as they navigate through contaminated water sources. Rescue efforts are ongoing, but the scale of destruction and political divisions in the country have hampered aid delivery. Concerns of shortages and disease outbreaks persist, while an investigation has been launched into the collapse of two dams that caused the catastrophic flooding.
