The city of Derna in Libya has been devastated by deadly floods, resulting in the burial of thousands of people in mass graves, officials announced. The floodwaters, caused by an unusually strong Mediterranean storm named Daniel, washed away entire families and exposed the country’s vulnerabilities. Over 5,500 deaths have been confirmed, with an estimated 9,000 people still missing. The storm’s impact highlights Libya’s neglect of infrastructure due to its divided government and ongoing conflict. The collapse of two dams outside Derna, which were not properly maintained despite funding, contributed to the destruction. Relief efforts are underway, with government agencies and international aid providing support. Derna is currently burying its dead in mass graves, while search and rescue teams continue their efforts. The death toll is expected to rise, and thousands of people have been displaced by the floods. International assistance has been mobilized, with countries like Egypt, Algeria, Turkey, and the United Arab Emirates providing aid. The United States has pledged financial support and collaboration with Libyan authorities and the United Nations.
