A storm hitting Derna, Libya on Sept. 10th caused a devastating flood and amounted to a death toll of thousands. Authorities are still searching for more people and bodies in the destruction it has caused. They are calling for more equipment. Almost ten thousand are still not found.
The floods at Derna are a reminder to think about the struggles of third-world countries. Authorities don’t have all the resources they need to recover from natural disasters like this, and the fact that thousands of people are missing or dead is alarming.
