Libya continues search for the missing as bodies wash up on its shores 

A desperate search for the missing continues in the Libyan city of Derna, where bodies are still washing up on its shores or decaying under rubble nearly a week after Storm Daniel triggered devastating floods in the country’s east, which has suffered years of neglect amid political divisions.

The International Organization for Migration’s mission in Libya has said that more than 5,000 people are presumed dead, with 3,922 deaths registered in hospitals. The Libyan Red Crescent on Friday put the death toll at more than 11,000, while thousands remain missing.

Nearly 40,000 people have been displaced in the wake of the disaster, which was compounded by the bursting of two ageing dams.

Al Jazeera’s Mohamed al Bakkali, reporting from Derna, said at least 10 bodies had been recovered on Saturday morning. “Chances of finding any survivors are very slim. Instead, rescuers are finding more bodies than survivors,” he said.
