The Libyan Emergency Medicine and Support Center has announced the recovery of three bodies and three bags of human remains, almost two months after the devastating floods that hit eastern Libya, particularly the city of Derna, on 10 September.
“The flood victims were recovered yesterday and sent to al Wehda hospital to complete burial procedures,” the center reported.
The massive flash flood that has left over 4000 dead and thousands missing came as eastern Libya was lashed by the hurricane-strength Storm Daniel on September 10.
The storm affected several cities, including Benghazi, Bayda, Al Marj, and Soussa, resulting in massive destruction of infrastructure and a significant loss of life.
Derna was hardest hit by the deadly flooding, causing the city’s dams to burst, washing away homes and people.
