One man recounted losing almost 60 relatives in the shocking floods that cascaded through the city of Derna.
The authorities’ response to the floods, in part a result of the failure to maintain Derna’s dams, has brought renewed criticism.““In Bayda the streets are destroyed,” Lamis Fouad Naseeb, whose inland city lies 60 miles west of Derna, told The Daily Beast. “Families are homeless—cars everywhere in the streets. We need professional rescue teams because there are still people locked in their houses by the water.
Storm Daniel’s toll on Libya’s buckling infrastructure has complicated the provision of additional assistance, with roads to Susa, a coastal city between Bayda and Derna, rendered all but impassable by the floods. “All the Libyan cities, with their political differences, took a serious stand together with Derna and put their differences aside,” said Fatima Alzahra Aldghily, a resident of the eastern city of Ajdabiya.
