BENGHAZI, Libya - At least 150 people were killed when freak floods hit eastern Libya, officials said on Monday, after storm “Daniel” swept the Mediterranean, its torrential rains earlier lashing Turkey, Bulgaria and Greece. Images filmed by residents of the Libyan disaster area showed massive mudslides, collapsed buildings and entire neighbourhoods submerged under muddy water. “At least 150 people were killed as a result of flooding and torrential rains left by storm Daniel in Derna, Jabal al-Akhdar region and the suburbs of Al-Marj,” said Mr Mohamed Massoud, a spokesman for the Benghazi-based administration in Libya. East Libyan authorities had “lost contact with nine soldiers during rescue operations”, Mr Massoud said.

Hamad’s government – which in war-battered Libya rivals a UN-brokered, internationally recognised transitional administration in Tripoli – on Monday declared Derna a “disaster area”. The National Petroleum Company, whose main oilfields and terminals are in eastern Libya, declared “a state of maximum alert” and suspended flights between production sites where activity was drastically reduced. The storm struck eastern Libya on Sunday afternoon, hitting especially the coastal town of Jabal al-Akhdar but also Benghazi, where a curfew was declared and schools closed for several days. In neighbouring Egypt , authorities called for caution on the northern coast which borders eastern Libya, and announced they were beginning preparations to minimise the impact of Storm Daniel.
