The United Nations said in a report released Sunday that the death toll from devastating floods that hit the Libyan city of Derna earlier this week is at least 11,300. The Libyan Red Crescent, which was cited in the report, later denied the toll, saying it was “shocked” to see its “name mixed up with these figures”.
Almost a week after a wall of water rushed through the Libyan coastal city of Derna, sweeping thousands to their deaths, the focus turned Sunday to caring for survivors of the disaster.
