Aftermath of floods in Libya's Al Bayda city

STORY: In the footage, debris from collapsed buildings and several damaged cars, including one that was wedged between a street lamp and a house, could be seen.

More than 1,000 bodies have been recovered in the eastern Libyan city of Derna after it was hit by floods, a minister in the eastern administration said on Tuesday, adding that the final toll was expected to be very big.

Officials said thousands more were missing from the flood, which they said had swept away entire neighborhoods after dams burst above the city.
