About 10,000 people are believed to be missing after big floods in Libya, as stated by an official from the International Federation of the Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC).
“We have received news from reliable sources that the number of people who are missing has reached 10,000,” explained Tamer Ramadan, who leads the IFRC team in Libya.
Heavy rain has caused flooding and landslides, ruining lots of houses and roads.
The area that suffered the most damage is the port of Derna. A lot of it is now underwater because two dams and four bridges broke.
Mr Ramadan said that a lot of people have died, and it’s possible that the number of deaths could be in the thousands.
The IFRC may ask for immediate money to help the people affected by floods in Libya.
