Devastating flooding caused by heavy rains in eastern Libya has resulted in the deaths of thousands of people and displaced tens of thousands more. The city of Derna was hit particularly hard, with two dams collapsing and causing a wall of water to rush through the city. Many residents are still waiting for news about missing relatives and loved ones.
A World Weather Attribution report declares that human-induced climate change caused Libya to be 50 times more likely to experience an extreme weather event.
Victims of the devastating Libya floods who survived to tell the tale of apocalyptic scenes feel left behind and forgotten a week into the catastrophe that.
