Tropical Storm Daniel ravaged parts of the Mediterranean including Libya, with 10,000 people missing and up to 3,000 dead. “We have reports and calls from inside Libya to evacuate everybody that has survived this disaster in Derna and to nearby areas so that they can spare their lives and emit the threats of contaminated water, decomposed bodies that area everywhere. “People are still on the lookout for bodies, not only survivors.”
