THE death toll from catastrophic flooding in Libya’s eastern city of Derna has climbed to 11,300, the U.N. said in an update Saturday, citing the Libyan Red Crescent.

Another 10,100 people are still missing in the devastated city, the U.N.’s Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs said.

Elsewhere in eastern Libya outside Derna, the flooding took an additional 170 lives, the update said. “These figures are expected to rise as search-and-rescue crews work tirelessly to find survivors,” it said.

Nearly a week after Storm Daniel hit northeastern Libya, “the humanitarian situation remains particularly grim in Derna,” it said.(SD-Agencies)
