Hurricane Daniel hit Libya on the 10th and caused flooding. On the 16th, the latest news from the United Nations showed that floods have caused 11300 deaths in the city of Delna. The World Health Organization also stated on the same day that the identities of 3958 victims have been found and confirmed. Despite the numerous obstacles in the rescue work and the slim hope of finding survivors, the search is still ongoing.
On the 16th, aerial footage showed that in the heavily affected area of Delna, the streets were littered with rubble and devastation. Hurricane Daniel made landfall along the eastern Mediterranean coast of Libya on the 10th and caused flooding, washing away large coastal areas of the city of Delna. The densely populated city center was severely damaged, and many buildings were washed down by the flood.
Disaster victims in Derna, Libya: I heard a loud explosion, and I was very clear that the explosion was coming from the direction of the dam. So I told everyone to go higher. Afterwards, I found that the flood was getting closer and closer to me, and many cars were washed away by the flood.

Cities such as Sousa and Beda in eastern Libya have also been severely affected. Some farmers have lost their families and houses, and the crops planted in the fields have also been completely destroyed.
Residents of Beda, Libya: This building used to house 4 families of 30 people, but they all died. The steel structure of the house is exposed.
At present, the situation in the disaster area is still severe, with a large number of victims whose bodies have not been found. Rescue teams and civilian volunteers from both inside and outside Libya are still searching through the vast ruins. Due to concerns about the possibility of an outbreak of infectious diseases, the area affected by the floods in Delna will be sealed off from the 16th. Starting from the 17th local time, search and rescue personnel, health department staff, and children aged 1-15 will be vaccinated. The Libyan National Center for Disease Control and Prevention announced on the 16th that areas affected by floods have entered a one-year health emergency.
