"Devastating Floods Ravage Libya, Leaving Thousands Dead and Missing"

The death toll from floods in the Libyan city of Derna has exceeded 1,500, with up to 10,000 people missing after two dams and four bridges collapsed due to Storm Daniel. The city, home to about 100,000 people, is largely submerged, and a quarter of it has disappeared. The eastern cities of Benghazi, Soussa, and Al-Marj have also been affected. The political chaos in Libya since the overthrow of Muammar Gaddafi in 2011 has hampered rescue efforts, as the country is effectively split between two governments. Aid is being sent from various countries, including the US, Egypt, Germany, Iran, Italy, Qatar, and Turkey.
