Emergency teams are working to find survivors and retrieve bodies after a massive flood hit Libya’s northeast three days ago, killing more than 5,000 and leaving 10,000 missing.
Eyewitness footage shared on social media showed the devastation after the floods, with collapsed rooftops and tumbled cars amid the rubble of destroyed infrastructure. Satellite images showed buildings in the coastal city of Derna, the worst hit by the flood, destroyed by water and sand. The city’s shores appeared to have been severely eroded.
Derna and the surrounding cities hit by the flood fall under the control of Haftar and his eastern government, which isn’t recognized by the international community. Analysts have said that climate forecasts gave warnings days before the storm hit Libya, but that authorities in the east did not act quickly enough.
