At least 700 recovered bodies have been buried so far, the health minister for eastern Libya said. He told a U.N. briefing in Geneva via videoconference from Tunisia that at least 10,000 people were still missing. The destruction came to Derna and other parts of eastern Libya on Sunday night, when Mediterranean storm Daniel pounded the coast. The storm hit other areas in eastern Libya, including the town of Bayda, where about 50 people were reported dead. Hundreds of families were displaced and took shelter in schools and other government buildings in the city of Benghazi and elsewhere in eastern Libya.
