Libya declares state of emergency after storm Daniel kills 150

At least 150 people have died after a powerful storm caused severe flooding in eastern Libya, an official said, the BBC reports.

Storm Daniel made landfall in the North African country over the weekend, prompting authorities to declare an extreme state of emergency. Last week, it killed dozens of people in Europe.

Officials in eastern Libya have imposed a curfew, while schools and shops have been ordered to close.

Storm Daniel has affected the eastern cities of Benghazi, Sousse, Derna and Al-Marj.

The prime minister, Abdulhamid Dbeiba, said on Sunday that he had instructed all state agencies to "deal immediately" with the damage and flooding, while the United Nations in Libya said it was closely monitoring the storm and would "provide urgent assistance in support of response efforts at the local and national level"./ CNA
