The government says that the death toll in Libya’s floods may exceed 20,000. More than 6,000 people have been confirmed dead. More than 10,000 people are missing. With the water coming down, the country is under threat of epidemic. The flood caused the most damage in the city of Derna. Now the water started coming down there. But rotting corpses are scattered everywhere. And an overpowering stench.
What is happening in the city of Derna right now is not a rescue operation. Rather, there are attempts to mass cremate the corpses. Hundreds of bodies are dug and buried together. The dead bodies of those who were swept away by the collapse of the dam in Derna are seen on the seashore every day. More bodies can be seen lying among the collapsed buildings and fallen trees. The mayor of Derna himself announced that the death toll might rise to 18,000 to 20,000. Epidemic is the main threat that the country is going to face. Fresh water shortage is also acute. There is no medicine, food or essentials. More than 30,000 people lost their homes and beds. Although various countries have come with help, the rescuers have not even been able to reach many parts of the isolated city of Derna due to damaged roads. At the same time, in the wake of the disaster, the governments of the eastern and western regions of the country have started working together.
