TL;DR Summary

Volunteers in Derna, Libya, are digging mass graves to bury the victims of devastating floods that have claimed the lives of close to 4,000 people, with thousands still missing. The overwhelmed city's hospitals and morgues were unable to cope with the influx of the dead, leading to a rush to bury the bodies to prevent infections and diseases. Visual identification became impossible, prompting officials to take DNA samples ahead of burials. Survivors are left traumatized and searching for their missing family members amid the rubble of ruined neighborhoods.
