Today, dead bodies have been uncovered as emergency workers excavated through the remains of Derna, a Libyan eastern city,

According to AP “10,000 people were reported still missing after floodwaters broke through dams and smashed through the city, washing away entire neighborhoods.”

At least 700 recovered bodies have been buried so far, the health minister for eastern Libya said. Derna’s ambulance authority put the current death toll at 2,300.

But the toll is likely to be far higher, in the thousands, said Tamer Ramadan, Libya envoy for the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies. He told a U.N. briefing in Geneva via videoconference from Tunisia that at least 10,000 people were still missing.”
