Thousands of people feared dead as Storm Daniel sweeps Libya
Thousands of people have reportedly died in floods caused by a large storm in eastern Libya.
The port city of Derna appears to be hardest hit.
Two dams in a valley above the Mediterranean city were overwhelmed when Storm Daniel brought the heaviest rainfall in a single day for 40 years.
That sent a huge wave of water through the city in the early hours of Monday.
Apartment blocks that stood well back from the river partially collapsed into the mud, while a bridge along the seafront was washed away.
Thousands of people are still unaccounted for.
Al Jazeera’s Libya correspondent Malik Traina reports.
