Devastation in Libya: Storm Daniel leaves over 11,300 dead and thousands missing

Posted on September 15, 2023   |  

Eastern Libya faces a severe flood crisis with over 3,000 casualties and 10,000 individuals reported missing.

The situation has displaced 20,000 people, and an estimated 3,000 deaths are anticipated according to the eastern administration in Benghazi.

Relief efforts, including aid shipments, are underway, but challenges persist in reaching the hardest-hit city, Derna.

In Derna, the death toll stands at 11,300, and local authorities suggest it could be higher.

Over 3,000 bodies have been laid to rest, with 2,000 more prepared for mass graves and some relocated for proper handling and burial.

The Tripoli government has declared the eastern region a disaster zone and is coordinating assistance efforts.

Extensive erosion in Derna has affected a 4-square-kilometer area, leading to hospital evacuations and casualties found in various locations.
