'Not time for politics': In Libya, 'people are coming together, it's time for humanitarian action'

Description

A global aid effort for Libya is gathering pace after a tsunami-sized flash flood killed thousands with thousands more missing -- a death toll the UN blamed in part on the legacy of years of war and chaos. The enormous surge of storm water burst two upstream dams late Sunday and reduced the city of Derna to an apocalyptic wasteland where entire city blocks and untold numbers of people were washed into the Mediterranean. For more on all of the humanitarian aid and rescue efforts underway, FRANCE 24's Erin Ogunkeye is joined by UNICEF's Representative for the Libya Country Office Michele Servadei.
