Derna Resident on Libya’s Flooding: Whole Neighborhoods Vanished

Libyan eyewitnesses report that the Mediterranean storm Daniel unleashed catastrophic floods in Libya, washing away whole communities in the eastern part of the North African country. Among the worst-hit regions is the port city of Derna, which has been officially declared a disaster zone after two dams collapsed and large parts of the city were submerged, cutting off communications and electricity. VOA's Hassuna Baishu spoke to Fatma Balha, a medical student residing in Derna, who witnessed the tragedy and whose family has both experienced and assisted in Daniel’s aftermath.
