"This is a disaster of epic proportions," Dr. Ahmed Zouiten, a WHO representative in Libya, said in a statement. The Libyan Red Crescent said Friday that at least 11,300 people have died and another 10,100 were reported missing. Eastern Libya's health minister, Othman Abduljaleel, meanwhile said Friday the number of recorded deaths stood at 3,166. An assessment team visiting Derna on Thursday said people were returning to what was left of their homes in desperation. The group's medical coordinator for Libya said the situation is chaotic with volunteers coming from everywhere in Libya to help, leaving an enormous need for coordination.
