Several cars were destroyed in the floods at Derna. This makes recovering and rebuilding harder for the people of the city (S. Eagle).

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.

Sophie Rivers, Staff Writer
Hey! I am Sophie Rivers and this will be my first time on staff. I wanted to do SPUB because it seemed like such a fun community and because I love design. When I did the yearbook in middle school, it was my favorite class and I enjoyed it a ton. Along with that, I took journalism freshman year. I’m really excited to explore and report the things most students don’t know about, and that’s why I believe journalism is important. Outside of school, I love to run, read, and get coffee.
