A new official assessment is provided by the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) on the catastrophic flooding in Libya due to Storm Daniel . At least 11,300 people have died in Derna, in the east of the country.
But there are also thousands of missing people, over 10,100 in the town alone.
Numbers that are feared to increase further, search and rescue teams are still working 24 hours a day.
Storm Daniel, which hit the city of 100,000 inhabitants during the night between Sunday and Monday, caused the failure of two dams upstream, triggering tsunami-sized flooding along the wadi that runs through the city.
The humanitarian situation remains particularly serious.
