International aid intended for the town of Derna ravaged by deadly floods is flowing into Libya on Saturday, but hopes of finding survivors among the thousands of people missing are dwindling six days after the disaster.
According to the United Nations (UN), at least 10,000 people are still missing across the country. Helped by foreign rescue teams, Libyan rescuers extract dozens of corpses from under the rubble every day.
During the floods, many people were swept into the sea, which washed up dozens of corpses, raising fears of epidemics linked to their decomposition.
Even if the results differ according to government ministers in eastern Libya, it is now certain that at least 2,600 people died in these floods.
