"Libyan Flood Disaster: Survivors Protest Authorities, Death Toll Revised"

Hundreds of protesters in Derna, Libya, have expressed anger towards authorities and demanded accountability one week after a devastating flood killed thousands and destroyed neighborhoods. Protesters targeted officials, including the head of the Libyan parliament, Aguila Saleh, and set fire to the house of the former Derna mayor. The flood occurred when two dams outside the city failed during a storm. The death toll is still unknown, with thousands missing. Calls for an international inquiry and reconstruction under international supervision have been made. Critics have highlighted warnings about the city's vulnerability to floods and the need to maintain the dams.
