Massive destruction in Libyan city of Derna following deadly floods

Description

The Mediterranean coastal city of Derna was hit by huge flash floods, likened to a tsunami by witnesses, after two upstream dams burst as torrential rains from Storm Daniel battered the region. The floods have left nearly 4,000 people dead, thousands more missing and at least 30,000 Libyans homeless.
