"Devastating Libya Floods Leave 10,000 Missing and Thousands Feared Dead"

Thousands of people are feared dead or missing after floods caused by Storm Daniel submerged eastern Libya, particularly the city of Derna. The raging torrents of water destroyed dams and swept away entire buildings, leaving neighborhoods and an unknown number of residents submerged. The death toll is expected to rise, with estimates ranging from 2,000 to 10,000. The situation continues to deteriorate, and many parts of the city remain inaccessible. International assistance has been called for, with countries such as the United Arab Emirates, Egypt, Jordan, and Turkey sending search and rescue teams and humanitarian supplies. The United States has also declared a humanitarian need and is coordinating relief efforts.
