STORYLINE:

The Libyan Agency for Implementation of Housing and Utilities Projects on Friday revealed that around 5,000 homes were damaged by the floods that hit eastern Libya on Sunday.

The agency also confirmed that the floods destroyed water supply networks, causing a severe shortage of drinking water in the affected areas.

The International Organization for Migration (IOM) estimates that over 38,640 individuals in eastern Libya, mostly in Derna city, were displaced by the floods.

IOM also estimates that 2,217 buildings collapsed to rushing water in Derna, which was destroyed the most by the floods.

After Mediterranean storm Daniel on Sunday triggered the largest and worst floods in decades, which have claimed at least 5,500 lives and left another 10,000 missing, the war-torn country has another enduring battle to fight in dealing with the natural disaster's aftermath.
