"Devastating Floods Transform Eastern Libya into an Unrecognizable Landscape"

Devastating floods caused by Storm Daniel have killed over 11,000 people in eastern Libya, with thousands still missing. Villages in low-lying areas were hit the hardest, leaving many trapped in their homes. The city of Derna has been particularly affected, with dams overflowing and neighborhoods being washed out. Search and rescue efforts are underway, but some areas have yet to receive assistance due to collapsed roads and damaged infrastructure. The storm has exposed the country's vulnerabilities, including corruption, poor infrastructure maintenance, and political infighting. Hospitals in affected areas are overwhelmed, with bodies mounting and families struggling to find loved ones.
