- The death toll from devastating floods in Libya’s eastern city of Derna has risen to an estimated 6,000 people, according to local officials.
- The figure is expected to rise as recovery operations continue in the coastal city that was pummeled by Storm Daniel.
- Rescuers and aid convoys are struggling to get to Derna, which has only one functional road left leading into it.
- Derna’s deputy mayor says the way the city was built put most of the population in the water’s direct path.
