The usually dry and parched city of Derna in eastern Libya was turned into a deadly torrent of water when Storm Daniel brought forth catastrophic floods, causing unprecedented destruction. Two dams, overwhelmed by the storm's fury, collapsed, releasing a tidal wave of water that swept through the city, claiming the lives of over 11,300 people. The city's residents, caught off guard, were left to face the wrath of the storm, with many more injured or displaced. The disaster has left the city in ruins, with authorities scrambling to respond to the humanitarian crisis that has unfolded.
