Disastrous flooding in Libya has left more than 30,000 people homeless, according to the International Organistion for Migration (IOM) on Wednesday.
The figures referred to the particularly hard-hit port city of Derna alone, the UN organisation said.
Thousands more have lost their homes in cities in the east of the country after two dams broke in eastern Libya near Derna, sweeping entire neighbourhoods into the sea.

Some 10,000 people were missing, and according to the administration in the east of the country, more than 5,000 people have died.
The IOM has estimated 2,000 were killed and at least 5,000 are missing.
Two rival governments were vying for power in Libya, which has been plagued by unrest in recent years.
One was based in the east and the other in the capital Tripoli, in the west. (dpa/NAN)
