The catastrophic floods have killed at least 150 people in eastern Libya, after storm Daniel swept the Mediterranean, lashing Turkey, Bulgaria and Greece.<\/p>\n

Images filmed by residents of the Libyan disaster area showed massive mudslides, collapsed buildings and entire neighbourhoods submerged under muddy water.<\/p>\n

Speaking on Libyan network Almasar, Oussama Hamad, prime minister of the east-based government, reported \u201cmore than 2,000 dead and thousands missing\u201d in the city of Derna alone, but no medical sources or emergency services have confirmed such figures.<\/p>\n

While media outlets in eastern Libya have largely picked up on Hamad\u2019s remarks, separate tolls reported from various areas add up to far lower figures.<\/p>\n

Mohamed Massoud, a spokesman for Hamad\u2019s Benghazi-based administration, said earlier that \u201cat least 150 people were killed as a result of flooding and torrential rains left by storm Daniel in Derna, Jabal al-Akhdar region and the suburbs of Al-Marj\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
