The United Nations has warned that disease outbreaks could lead to a second crisis in Libya following a devastating flash flood in the coastal city of Derna. The flood, caused by a hurricane-strength storm, has killed nearly 3,300 people and left thousands missing. Aid agencies and the World Health Organization are concerned about the risk of disease outbreak due to contaminated water and lack of sanitation. The flash flood has left tens of thousands of residents homeless and in need of basic supplies. The true death toll remains unknown, with many still missing. International aid efforts are underway to provide support and prevent the spread of diseases.
