TL;DR Summary

Disastrous floods in the eastern Libyan city of Derna have become a rallying cry for national unity in a country divided by conflict and political divisions. The floods, which resulted in over 11,000 deaths and displaced 30,000 people, have prompted an outpouring of support from Libyans across the country. The tragedy has also exposed the shortcomings of Libya's fractured political system, with disorganized aid distribution and blame being placed on government officials for the burst dams. Despite the challenges, there have been rare instances of cooperation between the rival administrations to provide relief to those affected. The focus now shifts to the daunting tasks of rehoming the population and rebuilding the affected areas.
