More than 6000 people have lost their lives due to heavy flooding that caused massive devastation across Libya, reported CNN on Wednesday. As per Egypt's emigration ministry, the government buried 87 Egyptian victims who died in Libya. The flooding in Derna has displaced over 30,000 people, according to the International Organisation for Migration (IOM) in Libya. Storm Daniel's devastation has made it considerably more difficult for rescuers to remove roads and debris in order to find survivors. The storm disrupted communications, complicating rescue attempts and raising concern among family members living outside Libya who are waiting for word on missing loved ones.
