Download How will Libya recover from catastrophic floods?

Last Sunday Storm Daniel hit Libya bringing heavy rain and catastrophic flooding. Derna, a city in the east, suffered the most. A tsunami-like river of water swept through its streets when two dams burst.

More than 10,000 people are missing and almost 4,000 people have been confirmed dead according to the United Nations.

It’s a situation any country would struggle to deal with but in Libya, there’s an added complication because it’s a country with two rival governments.

So today Africa Daily’s Alan Kasujja has been looking at how Libya will recover from the catastrophic floods.
