"Devastating Storm Daniel in Libya Claims Thousands of Lives in Catastrophic Floods"

The death toll in Libya's floods caused by Storm Daniel has risen to nearly 3,000, with up to 10,000 people missing and 20,000 displaced. The eastern region, particularly the city of Derna, has been severely affected, with apartment blocks collapsing and a seafront bridge washed away. Communication and access to the city have been difficult due to destroyed roads and flooding. The Libyan government has declared the region a disaster zone and is sending aid, but international assistance may be necessary. A quarter of Derna has reportedly disappeared due to the floods.
