"Devastating Floods and Earthquake Leave Libya in Ruins: Thousands Dead and Missing"

TL;DR Summary
Hundreds of bodies have been uncovered in mass graves in the aftermath of devastating flooding in Libya's eastern city of Derna, with fears that the death toll could rise as 10,000 people remain missing. The storm, named Storm Daniel, caused dams to collapse and entire neighborhoods to be washed away. The weak infrastructure and clustering of buildings near the river exacerbated the destruction. Emergency responders are still struggling to reach the affected areas due to damaged access roads. The situation is dire, and both local and international aid efforts are underway to provide support.
