Over 2,000 bodies were buried in Libya’s flood-stricken city of Derna, according to local authorities on Wednesday.
Torrential rains from Storm Daniel swept several areas in eastern Libya on Sunday, killing more than 6,000 people with thousands still missing, according to officials.
On Monday, the International Federation of the Red Cross and the Libyan Red Crescent put the figure of missing people at 10,000.
“We have not yet counted the total number of victims,” al-Kharraz said.
