00:00 Angry protests in the Libyan city of Derna. One week after a huge flash flood shattered
00:06 the area, residents accused Marshal Jalifa Haftar`s government of inaction in the face
00:12 of the catastrophe.
00:15 They`re calling for the unification of the country after years of conflict.
00:19 Unfortunately, people are in a state of shock. No one heard their voice except the armed
00:26 forces. The other thing that is very important in this matter is that people`s demands are
00:33 not heard. They`re sensitive. The parliamentarians, unfortunately, changed the person accused
00:40 of harming the city. They changed him and put him in the same group. People are in a
00:49 state of shock.
00:51 The tension erupted hours after the United Nations drastically revised down the cyclone`s
00:57 death toll to approximately 4,000. But the survivors now living amid the wreckage desperately
01:03 need aid, as health officials warn that outbreaks of disease from contaminated water could bring
01:09 a second devastating crisis.
