Deadly floods triggered by a powerful storm have left a trail of destruction in eastern Libya. Thousands of bodies were recovered in one city alone after dams collapsed and wiped out entire neighborhoods.

A team from the emergency services has been stationed at Derna since Monday, Osama Ali, the spokesman for the Tripoli-based emergency services, told the AFP news agency.
Rescue teams have begun retrieving hundreds of bodies from the rubble after heavy rainfall over the weekend caused dams to break, washing away entire districts.
Officials in the administration in the eastern part of the divided country put the death toll at 1,000 on Tuesday.

The chaos and split in governance in the oil-rich nation has long left cities with crumbling and inadequate structures.
