As many as 20,000 people are believed to have died in floods in Libya, according to a local official.

The mayor of the port city of Derna told Saudi television station Al Arabiya that he estimated 18,000 to 20,000 died from the explosion of the two dams.

His figures are based on the number of communities destroyed by floodwater, he told the channel, writes the BBC.

Undiscovered bodies remain under rubble or in the sea, increasing the risk of disease.

Meanwhile, the rival governments in Libya have asked for international help./ CNA
