At least 150 people in Libya have died after a powerful storm caused heavy flooding in the eastern part of the country over the weekend, according to the Red Crescent in Benghazi, which noted that the death toll is expected to rise.
“We recorded at least 150 deaths after the collapse of buildings. We expect [the] death toll to rise to 250. The situation is very catastrophic,” Kais Fhakeri, the head of the humanitarian agency, told Reuters on Sept. 11.
