Thousands Feared Dead As Storm Daniel Sweeps Libya


At least 2,000 people are feared dead in Derna, after a powerful storm and floods hit the city in eastern Libya.


The Prime minister of a self-proclaimed government based in eastern Libya, Osama Hamad said that thousands were missing, but did not cite where his figures had come from.


The head of the Red Crescent in Benghazi, Kais Fhakeri, has confirmed that Storm Daniel has killed at least 150 people in Derna, after water levels in the city rose as high as three metres (10 feet).


“The city of Derna is completely surrounded by mountains, and these dams collapsed,” 


Footage on social media showed people stranded on the roofs of their vehicles as Storm Daniel hit the cities of Benghazi, Susa, Bayda, al-Marj and Derna on Sunday and Monday.


“We were asleep, and when we woke up, we found water besieging the house. We are inside and trying to get out,” Derna resident Ahmed Mohamed said 


Outside of Derna, at least 12 people have been reported dead in the eastern town of Bayda, the town’s main medical centre said.


Another seven people were reported dead in the coastal town of Susa in northeastern Libya, according to the Ambulance and Emergency Authority. Seven others were reported dead in the towns of Shahatt and Omar al-Mokhtar, the minister said.


One other person was confirmed dead on Sunday. The man was stuck in his car and surrounded by flooding in the eastern town of al-Marj, according to Walid al-Arfi, spokesperson for the emergency response agency in eastern Libya.
