On Thursday, media reported that the death toll from flooding in eastern Libya exceeded 11,000, with about 20,000 people missing. Libyan media reported last week that the torrential rains brought by Storm Daniel caused high water and floods in multiple cities and towns in eastern Libya, including Al Bayda and Derna. Air and seaports in the region were closed due to heavy downpours. The cities of Susah and Derna were declared natural disaster zones. Curfews were imposed in the flood-affected cities.
