The powerful storm and heavy floods have killed at least 150 people in the eastern city of Derna over the last two days and the death toll is expected to rise, the head of the Red Crescent in Benghazi said on Monday.
Footage on social media showed people stranded on the roofs of their vehicles as Storm Daniel hit Benghazi, Sousse, Al Bayda, Al-Marj and Derna, a city on the Mediterranean some 250 km east of Benghazi.
