The death toll in the libyan coastal city of Derna has risen to 11,300 as searches continue after massive floods caused by the rupture of two dams as heavy rains, the Libyan Red Crescent said.

Marie el-Drese, assistant secretary general of the organization, told the Associated Press that more than 10,100 people are missing. Health officials had earlier announced that the death toll was 5500,<>.

Another 170 people died in other parts of the country as a result of the storm.

Floods wiped out entire neighbourhoods and extinguished hundreds of families in Derna. They also exposed the vulnerabilities of the oil-rich country that has been mired in conflict since the 2011 uprising that toppled ruling dictator Moammar Gadhafi.

Health Minister Othman Abduljaleel said the victims were being buried in mass graves. By Thursday morning, 3,<> victims had been buried.

It is not known what the number of casualties left under the rubble or under the mud could be.

The United Nations has called for $74.1 million in emergency aid to meet the urgent needs of more than 250,000 people most affected by the floods.

U.S. President Joe Biden has announced the allocation of funds to aid organizations in Libya and to support local authorities and the United Nations to provide additional assistance. /VOA
