The Libyan Minister of Health in the parliament-appointed government, Othman Abdul Jalil, announced the death of 3,000 people due to Storm Daniel, predicting that the number would rise to 10,000.

Abdul Jalil stated in an interview with Libyan channel "Al-Masar" that the number of missing persons is in the thousands and is expected to reach about one hundred thousand people, confirming that "the situation in the city of Derna is becoming increasingly tragic, and there are no final statistics on the number of victims," noting that access to many neighborhoods has become impossible, calling on "friendly countries to help save what remains of Derna in the mountainous areas."

Dr. Osama Ali, the official spokesman for the Ambulance and Emergency Service in Libya, also confirmed that Storm Daniel swept away many residential neighborhoods in Libya and leveled them to the ground, turning what is happening on the ground into a dilemma in itself.

Ali added in a phone intervention, "We lost two ambulances, and we have no communication in Derna with the emergency team that entered the city due to the lack of coverage there and the loss of the communication network, confirming that rescue teams are working under extremely difficult conditions, as the roads are eroded, leading to direct injuries in vehicles, and silt has covered most areas affected by the floods."

He mentioned that most of the rescue operations are being conducted manually with the presence of citizens providing assistance, and that forces from the Libyan army are helping in the operations, and thus, the country is witnessing a tragic situation at this time.

For his part, Major General Imad Mustafa Al-Tarabulsii, the Minister of Interior in the parliament-appointed Libyan government, stated that the authorities are striving to provide safe places for those affected by the floods due to the damage caused by Storm Daniel.

Major General Imad Mustafa said that there are difficulties facing the relief and emergency teams during their search operations for the missing persons swept away by the storm's floods toward the sea, as the number of missing persons in eastern Libya has reached about 10,000 people due to the floods and torrents in the country, according to an official from the International Committee of the Red Cross.

Al-Tarabulsii added that the deceased persons in eastern Libya do not only hold Libyan nationalities, but there are also Egyptians and Palestinians among them in eastern Libya, specifically in the city of "Derna," and that crews are required to reach some affected areas due to the severity of the floods, indicating that the authorities are asking the international community for assistance to confront this natural disaster "Storm Daniel."

A number of countries and regional and international organizations expressed their full solidarity with Libya in facing the effects of Storm Daniel, which has caused significant losses in lives and property.

For its part, the Kingdom of Morocco expressed its full solidarity with the State of Libya following the storm and the floods that affected some Libyan areas, resulting in numerous losses.

The Moroccan Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in a statement, expressed its sincere condolences and heartfelt sympathy to the State of Libya and its people and to the families of the victims in this painful tragedy.

For its part, the Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed the kingdom's condolences and solidarity with Libya and its brotherly people regarding the victims of the floods that occurred in the Libyan city of Derna.

The ministry, according to the Saudi Press Agency, conveyed its condolences to the families and relatives of the deceased, its sincere wishes for the safety of the missing, and for a swift recovery for the injured.

Kuwaiti Emir Sheikh Nawaf Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah and Crown Prince Sheikh Mishal Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah also affirmed the State of Kuwait's complete solidarity with the State of Libya, government, and people in confronting the repercussions of the natural disaster that swept through several cities and villages in eastern Libya and resulted in hundreds of casualties and injuries.

They expressed, in the two telegrams sent to Dr. Mohamed Yunus Al-Munfie, the President of the Libyan Presidential Council, their heartfelt condolences and sincere sympathy for the flood victims, asking God Almighty to embrace the victims in His vast mercy and forgiveness, and to grant the injured a speedy recovery and wellness, and to enable the officials in the brotherly country to overcome the effects of this natural disaster.
