Heavy Rain Causes Flooding in Bulgarian Villages for the Second Time in Two Weeks
The Northwest of Bulgaria has been hit by a second round of floods in just two weeks
More than 2000 people have died as a result of floods in the eastern part of the North African country. This was announced by the leader of one of the two rival governments in Libya, based in Benghazi, said the Associated Press today.
In an interview on the phone in front of Al Masar TV, Prime Minister Osama Hamad said thousands of people are declared missing. According to him, the water carried entire neighborhoods in the town of Derna, where a state of emergency was declared after the country was hit by the Mediterranean Storm "Daniel".
