A city flattened, that's how those on the ground are describing the Libyan city of Derna
00:07
after the weekend's devastating floods. More than 5,000 bodies have now been recovered
00:13
and more are expected. Rescue volunteers are working around the clock to scavenge whoever
00:19
they can from the rubble and ruin of the city. On Sunday night, the bursting of two dams
00:25
hit by a huge storm swept through the eastern town, sweeping away hundreds of buildings.
00:32
According to official figures, 9,000 people are missing. These satellite images showing
00:37
the before and after of the floods help to understand the magnitude of the catastrophe.
00:44
According to the International Organization for Migration, the tragedy has left at least
00:48
30,000 people displaced, left to fend for themselves in a state torn by a decade of
00:54
civil war. Thus, it is the citizens who are primarily responsible for burying the victims,
01:01
the overwhelming majority in mass graves. Less than half of the corpses recovered in
01:06
Derna are yet to be buried.
