Authorities were still struggling to get aid to the Mediterranean coastal city of Derna after Sunday nightโ€™s deluge washed away most access roads. Aid workers who managed to reach the city described devastation in its centre with thousands still missing and tens of thousands left homeless.

  1. How many backed European NATO when they destroyed the oasis that was Libya and brutally murdered it's leader?
    All dams were kept in order by Gaddafi, he brought the water to the dams when there was none, there were no organised gangs boating people to our shores, he wanted better for Africa.
    But NATO killed him.

  2. This is a tremendous tragedy. Human life seems to have no value to so many, but when you see tge scale of loss in this and the 2004 asian tsunami, one can see just how special (and fleeting) life is! 10,000 plus gone in an instant. ๐Ÿ˜”๐Ÿ˜”

  3. The worst thing when a natural disaster hitting you while you are at night sleeping . this is a deadly moment and a chance of surviving will be zero . this is why the death toll was very high in Turkey earthquake and Libya floods .

  5. Just when you think YOUR existence is a disaster… imagine awakening to being violently dragged out to sea. To your *doom*. Not by any malevolent human, but simply by Nature. ๐Ÿ˜ณ

    "Before I start, I must see my end.
    Destination known, my mind's journey now begins.
    Upon my chariot, heart and soul's fate revealed.
    In time, all points converge; hope's strength, re-steeled.
    But to earn final peace at the universe's endless refrain,
    We must see all in nothingness…
    Before we start again."

  6. The United Nations should ask all countries to design flood warning systems for cities close to dams. At least if there was one, these innocent people had an hour maybe to get prepared when breaching happened.
