Flooding, brought by Storm Daniel, has pushed a divided nation to the limit with alarming levels of death and destruction. Badly battered by the storm, the coastal city of Derna is now underwater after the storm caused a dam there to burst. Other cities along Libya’s eastern coast such as Susah, Marj and Benghazi are all badly flooded. More than 2,300 have died while some 10,000 remain unaccounted for, numbers published by the Red Crescent show.
But the true death toll could be even higher as the flooded areas housed many undocumented migrants who were travelling through Libya in hopes of reaching Europe.
