According to Benghazi based Prime Minister Osama Hammad, the Mediterranean storm Daniel caused devastating floods in Libya that completely submerged large neighborhoods in the east of North African nation. During a Monday television appearance, Hammad said, “The number of people killed exceeded 2,000, and entire neighborhoods were swept away by the (flood) water.” One of the worst-affected regions was the port city of Derna in eastern Libya, which was declared a disaster zone after two dams there collapsed and large parts of it were submerged, cutting off communications and electricity.
