‘Bodies are lying everywhere,’ says emergency committee member, after dam burst in storm
Around a quarter of Libya’s eastern city of Derna was wiped out by floods after a dam burst in a storm, and more than 1,000 bodies have been recovered so far, a minister in the administration that controls the east said on Tuesday.
“I am not exaggerating when I say that 25 per cent of the city has disappeared. Many, many buildings have collapsed.” Officials said thousands more were missing from the flood, which they said had swept away entire neighbourhoods after dams burst above the city. After pummelling Greece last week, Storm Daniel swept in over the Mediterranean on Sunday, swamping roads and destroying buildings in Derna, and hitting other settlements along the coast, including Libya’s second biggest city, Benghazi.
