Satellite images show total destruction in Derna after passage of Mediterranean hurricane: “Waves of 7 meters high flooded city”

The death toll following the passage of Mediterranean Hurricane Daniel in Libya continues to rise. In the hard-hit port city of Derna alone, the count stands at 5,300, according to Minister Hichem Abu Chkiouat of the eastern government. He fears that this number could even double. “The sea throws dozens of bodies onto the beach all the time,” he says. Satellite images show the complete devastation that the medican has caused in the city after two dams broke.
