More than 11,000 lives were lost in Derna, Libya, earlier this week after the city flooded.

Dams built 50 years ago in Derna were the country’s solution to floods, however, a lack of maintenance left residents vulnerable to floods for decades.

Libya officials say they were not expecting the level of water they did, while locals claim the dam was neglected for years.

Global’s Eric Sorenson details how Storm Daniel ultimately exposed the fragility of Libya’s dam and resulted in a tragedy of this scale.
