LIBYA-DERNA-FLOODS-AFTERMATH
(230916) -- DERNA, Sept. 16, 2023 (Xinhua) -- This aerial photo taken on Sept. 15, 2023 shows people standing on the broken highway between Derna City and Sousse City in east Libya. The highway was originally linked with a bridge that was destroyed in recent heavy floods. The International Organization for Migration (IOM) said on Friday that more than 38,640 people have been displaced in the most affected areas in northeastern Libya after heavy floods triggered by Mediterranean storm Daniel swept the region.
The IOM said in a statement that 2,217 buildings were destroyed alone in Derna, the port city that has been hit hardest by Libya's worst floods in decades.
The floods have so far claimed at least 5,500 lives and left another 10,000 missing, official statistics show. (Photo by Ibrahim Hadia al-Majbri/Xinhua)
