Around 43,059 people in north-eastern Libya had to leave their homes because of the floods, according to the UN’s International Organization for Migration (IOM).

Due to a lack of water, many people in Derna are leaving the city. This happened after two dams burst during Storm Daniel about a week ago.

A lot of people from Derna are moving to live with family members in other cities in the east, such as Tobruk and Benghazi.

Some people have traveled to different cities in the west, such as the capital Tripoli, Hai Alandalus, Misrata, Ghiryan, and Qasr bin Ghasheer.

The IOM said that urgent needs were food, water, and help with mental health and emotions.
