Coast was particularly badly hit this
00:00:12
was the port before the floods with its
00:00:15
population of around 100
00:00:17
000 people and this is what it looks
00:00:20
like now after two dams and Four Bridges

many people were asleep when their homes
00:00:34
collapsed around them and many were
00:00:36
swashed out to sea in the torrent a
00:00:38
warning you may find some of the images
00:00:40
in Quentin somerville's report upsetting
00:00:44
when the storm came fractured Libya was
00:00:47
ill-prepared half a Year's rainfall fell
00:00:50
in just 24 hours
00:00:53
in daylight as much as a quarter of the
00:00:56
port city of derner is revealed to be
00:00:58
gone
00:00:59
engulfed by flood water after two
00:01:02

which now number in their thousands
00:01:20
bodies are being washed ashore by the
00:01:23
dozens
00:01:27
with terrible Force the flood swept
00:01:30
through this city

00:01:37
there was no warning no evacuation order

from the rubble
00:01:46
few here are being found alive
00:01:49
Darna and Libya are overwhelmed it's too
00:01:53
much for those left grieving
00:01:57
entire families were swallowed by the
00:01:59
deluge
00:02:06
I already lost six people we managed to
00:02:10
take out three and we did not find the
00:02:11
other three people we're searching for
00:02:13
the bodies here we could not find them
00:02:16
derna has long been marginalized it was
00:02:20
once a base for the Islamic State group
00:02:23
yields of neglect and conflict and two
00:02:26
rival governments have seen Libya Fall
00:02:28
Apart
00:02:31
it has been an enormous shock and I
00:02:33
don't want to point the blame anyone or
00:02:35
create controversy even if all measures
00:02:38
had been taken there would have been
00:02:39
losses massive losses
00:02:44
but more could have been done we had
00:02:46
warned the authorities since last week
00:02:48
no for years that the dam had cracks and
00:02:51
needs to be maintained we said it and
00:02:53
nobody listened to us and now the whole
00:02:55
of Turner is flooded
00:02:59
what remains here is already barely
00:03:02
functioning this Hospital in albaida is
00:03:05
struggling Deep in water and flooded
00:03:07
with casualties and for medical staff
00:03:09
it's all too much
00:03:12
this is a catastrophe from God we've
00:03:14
lost families Brothers the figures are
00:03:17
massive
00:03:22
International help is on the way these
00:03:25
planes are from Jordan but with many of
00:03:27
the roads in eastern Libya washed away
00:03:29
Aid will struggle to get through
00:03:33
this is Libya's third day of national
00:03:35
morning and still the corpses keep
00:03:38
coming
00:03:39
after a decade of chaos this fresh
00:03:42
tragedy has won the country can't bear
00:03:44
alone
00:03:46
Quentin Somerville BBC News
00:03:49
well Frank Gardner is with me now he's
00:03:51
been looking at just what happened when
00:03:53
that storm hit on Sunday Frank
00:03:56
well Sophie this has been one of the
00:03:59
worst disasters in Libya's history but
00:04:01
how did it happen this satellite footage
00:04:05
here shows storm Daniel which some
00:04:07
meteorologists have been calling a
00:04:08
medicane or a Mediterranean hurricane it
00:04:11
killed 15 people in Greece in the past
00:04:13
week then made its way across southern
00:04:15
Europe making landfall in Libya on
00:04:18
Sunday the worst hit area has been down
00:04:20
on the Northeast Coast right through the
00:04:24
city center runs the wadidarna river
00:04:26
valley flowing down from the jabulakhdar
00:04:28
mountains but that River Valley's dry
00:04:31
for most of the Year and no one was
00:04:33
prepared for this there are in fact two
00:04:35
dams the upper one is this one the
00:04:37
al-bilad it's around eight miles south
00:04:40
of the city due to the sheer amount of
00:04:42
rainfall and flood water from the storm
00:04:44
it burst as you can see in this video
00:04:47
footage here
00:04:48
after that first Dam collapsed it sent
00:04:51
water pouring down the valley before
00:04:53
reaching a second Dam the Abu Mansour
00:04:55
which lay much closer to the city less
00:04:58
than a mile from it so the sheer force
00:05:00
of the flooding meant that this second
00:05:02
dam was also overcome
00:05:05
well what more do we know about the dams
00:05:07
themselves we understand that both of
00:05:09
them were constructed around 50 years
00:05:11
ago by Yugoslav Engineers with cores
00:05:14
made of clay protected by what's called
00:05:16
a stone carapass or shell clearly these
00:05:19
were not strong enough to cope with a
00:05:21
storm and flooding of this magnitude and
00:05:24
of course all of this was compounded by
00:05:27
Libya's dysfunctional politics a country
00:05:30
so rich in natural resources and yet
00:05:33
desperately lacking the security and
00:05:35
stability that its people crave
00:05:38
Frank thank you well let's go back now
00:05:40
to Quentin Somerville who has been
00:05:42
following this story from Beirut and the
00:05:44
scale of the devastation only really
00:05:46
becoming clear now one estimate tonight
00:05:48
that up to 20 000 people could be dead
00:05:50
in in derna alone
00:05:54
yeah Sophie those figures from the mayor
00:05:56
of donor I think though they'll be
00:05:58
counting the bodies there for many days
00:05:59
if not weeks to come there are many
00:06:02
countries that could have handled
00:06:03
flooding of this scale but not one as
00:06:06
troubled as Libya it has had a long and
00:06:09
painful decade Civil Wars uh local
00:06:12
conflicts and down itself was taken over
00:06:15
by the Islamic State group the city was
00:06:18
bombed to remove from them from there
00:06:20
and ever since then even before this
00:06:23
disaster the people were terribly
00:06:25
neglected they've been called the most
00:06:27
marginalized of the marginalized but
00:06:30
let's not forget there were warnings
00:06:32
that these two dams might be breached
00:06:35
not just from locals but from Libyan
00:06:38
academics too but amid Libya's chaos
00:06:41
those warnings went unheeded the reality
00:06:44
though for for Libya and other
00:06:45
Mediterranean countries that with Rising
00:06:48
water temperatures they need to be
00:06:49
better prepared for these kind of
00:06:52
emergencies but for Libya country that's
00:06:54
been at war with itself which has been
00:06:56
neglected by the West it simply wasn't
00:06:59
able to do that and its people have paid
00:07:02
a terrible price point in Somerville
00:07:04
thank you

Description:

There are fears that as many as 20,000 people may have died in the flooding that's devastated northern Libya after dams burst during storms. The coastal city of Derna suffered the worst of the disaster. There have been desperate calls for more humanitarian support as victims lie wrapped in body bags and others have been buried in mass graves. Many people were washed out to sea when the floods struck. Rescue teams have been digging through the rubble of collapsed buildings in the hope of finding survivors. At least 30,000 people are said to be homeless. Sophie Raworth presents BBC News at Ten reporting by Quentin Sommerville and Frank Gardner.
