Libya' health minister says four Greek rescue workers dispatched to Libya following devastating flooding in the eastern city of Derna were killed in an automobile collision.
In a parallel statement, the Greek Foreign Ministry acknowledged the crash but said all its nationals “only suffered minor injuries” and were being treated at nearby hospitals. The Associated Press was not immediately able to reconcile the conflicting reports.
But the opposing governments have struggled to respond to the crisis. Their recovery efforts have been hampered by confusion, difficulty getting aid to the hardest-hit areas, and the destruction of Derna’s infrastructure, including several bridges. On Saturday, Libya’s General Prosecutor, al-Sediq al-Sour, opened an investigation into the collapse of the two dams, built in the 1970s, as well as the allocation of maintenance funds. Derna’s mayor, Abdel-Moneim al-Gaithi, was suspended pending an investigation into the disaster.
