The health minister in the eastern Libyan government says they have so far buried 700 people killed in the devastating flooding in the city of Derna and that the death toll is likely much greater.
Othman Abduljaleel, who was at the scene in Derna on Tuesday, told a local television station in a phone interview that the hospitals in the city are still filled with bodies.
The Mediterranean storm Daniel caused devastating floods in many towns in eastern Libya on Sunday night but the destruction was worst in Derna, where entire city neighbourhoods were washed away.
