According to reuters.com, “Libya’s flood-ravaged Derna struggles to cope with thousands of corpses.”
Obi said: “My heart goes out to the government and people of Libya over the troubling reports of flooding in their country, which is feared to have claimed about 20,000 lives. The high level of damage brought by the flooding, with the attendant loss of lives is very unsettling.
“These are obviously, challenging times for the people of Libya. I sincerely commiserate with the government and people of Libya, especially the city of Derna, which is the hardest hit. May God grant eternal rest to all those who lost their lives to this ugly incident and
“grant the affected families the fortitude to bear their irreplaceable loss.”
