Rescue teams in the Libyan city of Derna continue working on removing rubble of buildings destroyed by floods in an attempt to recover bodies and search for missing people.

There is still no widely accepted death toll for the floods which devastated Derna and nearby coastal towns.

An international conference will be held in Derna next month to aid reconstruction efforts, authorities in the east of the country’s said on Friday.

There was no immediate reaction from the internationally recognised government in Tripoli nor any details on how the rival administration would accommodate delegates in a city where entire neighbourhoods have been swept away. The conference will be held on October 10th .
