Flash flooding in northern Libya has caused thousands of deaths, although the exact number remains unclear due to the scale of the catastrophe and political chaos in the country. The United Nations has stated that most of the deaths could have been avoided with better coordination and warning systems. The floods were caused by Storm Daniel, which brought torrential downpours and caused two river dams to burst. The city of Derna has been particularly affected, with hundreds of body bags lining the streets and many people still missing. The international community has pledged aid and support to Libya.
