"It was like hell," said Rashad Ezzat Abdel-Hamid, a 45-year-old Egyptian who survived the disaster. Around him, people were wailing and crying, looking for their loved ones and trying to retrieve those under the rubble. He had gone there only six months ago.Egyptians have for decades gravitated to oil-rich Libya for work. Village homes face date palms groves and the fields are green with clover, corn and other grains. His father was building it for him, adding a third floor to the family home.Abdel-Fattah's three nephews also died in Derna.
