Damage from massive flooding is seen in Derna, Libya, on Wednesday. Daniel, an unusually strong Mediterranean storm, caused deadly flooding in towns across eastern Libya, but the worst-hit was Derna. Floodwaters gushed down Wadi Derna, a valley that cuts through the city, crashing through buildings and washing people out to sea. Derna has begun burying its dead, mostly in mass graves, said eastern Libya’s health minister, Othman Abduljaleel. The dead in eastern Libya included at least 84 Egyptians, who were transferred to their home country on Wednesday.
