Hundreds of people are feared dead in eastern Libya after the Mediterranean storm Daniel caused catastrophic flooding in major cities over the weekend, an official said.
The leader-designate of the divided OPEC nation’s eastern government, Osama Hammad, was cited by local media as saying on Monday that there could be as many as 2,000 victims and thousands missing in the coastal city of Derna alone. Destruction was also reported in Benghazi, Sousse and Al-Bayda.
Libya, which has been mired in conflict for much of the past decade, is split between rival administrations in the east and west. Both governments have declared three days of mourning.
