"Devastating Libya Floods: Thousands Feared Dead, Urgent Call for Unity"

Up to 20,000 people are feared dead in the Libyan city of Derna after torrential rainfall caused two dams to collapse, sending waves over 20 feet high through the port city. The mayor estimates that the death toll could exceed 20,000, with previous estimates already surpassing 5,000 deaths and 10,000 people still missing. The scale of devastation and limited infrastructure in the area make it difficult to determine an accurate tally, with bodies still washing up on the shore and burials being held in mass graves. Around 30,000 people have been displaced, and the task of rebuilding and providing immediate aid is complicated by the country's decade-long civil war.
