Libya flooding: Calls for Derna evacuation as search for dead continues – BBC News

There have been calls for a complete evacuation of Derna in eastern Libya a week after massive flash floods.

Thousands of people have died after two dams burst in the wake of Storm Daniel, washing away whole neighbourhoods in the city.

Figures for the number of dead vary from around 6,000 to 11,000 – and with thousands still missing, the city’s mayor says the total could reach 20,000.
