[1/5] People walk amidst the wreckage, in the aftermath of the floods in Derna, Libya September 15, 2023.
"Bodies are littering the streets, washing back on shore and are buried under collapsed buildings and debris.
Mohammad al-Qabisi, head of Derna's Wahda Hospital, said a field hospital was treating people with chronic illnesses needing regular attention.
Thursday's U.N. report said more than 1,000 bodies in Derna and over 100 bodies in Al Bayda, another coastal city which was hit by flooding, had been buried in mass graves.
The ICRC sent a cargo flight to Benghazi, eastern Libya's largest city, on Friday with 5,000 body bags.
