Tripoli: The city of Derna in eastern Libya has been severely damaged by floods that came after a storm in Libya.
The mayor of the devastated city of Derna has expressed concern that flood deaths in Libya could reach up to 20,000. According to American media, the death toll has exceeded 8,000 and more than 10,000 people are missing since the floods, while piles of bodies have been seen on the coast and city streets after the floods.
