The death toll of the tragic floods in Libya after Daniel Cyclone in Libya’s Derna jumped to 11,300, the United Nations issued in a report, noting that the number of victims will likely increase.
170 victims were added to the death toll of the Derna floods, the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said.
It added that at least 10,100 people are still missing.
OCHA highlighted: “These figures are expected to rise as search-and-rescue crews work tirelessly to find survivors."
At least 30,000 people have been displaced in Derna alone, the UN revealed.
OCHA said: “With thousands of displaced people now on the move, the risk of exposure to landmines and Explosive Ordnance of War (ERW) leftover from years of conflict is on the rise, as flood waters have now shifted landmines and ERW."
