A few days after the devastating earthquake in Morocco, which killed nearly 3,000 people according to a final provisional report, northeastern Libya was hit by unprecedented floods caused by Storm Daniel. The provisional human toll is very heavy with at least 3,800 dead and 5,000 missing in this country already ravaged by years of war and chaos.
