Libyan prosecutors have pledged to hold those responsible for the neglect of two dams in Derna to account, as aid packages - including a large number of body bags - arrived in the flooded nation.
Thousands were killed in the country last Sunday after two dams burst in the wake of Storm Daniel.
The death toll remains unknown - with figures ranging from 6,000 to 11,000 - however, Derna's mayor has said he expects the total could eventually reach 20,000 fatalities. Reports emerging from the country warn of disease, as bodies continue to wash up on the region's beaches.The newly arrived aid packages include essential medicines, trauma and emergency surgery supplies, and medical equipment.
