Tripoli [Libya], September 12

More than 2,000 people are feared dead amid devastating flooding caused by Storm Daniel, which blasted across the country’s east, CNN reported.

According to Libyan News Agency, Osama Hamad, the president of Libya’s eastern parliament-backed administration, verified the death toll on Monday.

“Osama Hamad said in press statements that residential neighborhoods disappeared after the torrents swept them into the sea along with thousands of their residents, and the situation is catastrophic and unprecedented in Libya,” CNN reported citing the Libyan News Agency LANA.
Videos on social media showed drowned cars, collapsed buildings, and torrents of water surging across streets. Storm Daniel swept away entire areas and ruined homes in a number of coastal towns, with the city of Derna “cut off completely” after two old dams burst.
