Officials in Libya say as many as 10,000 people are missing after severe flooding in the northeastern part of the country.
利比亚官员表示，该国东北部发生严重洪灾，造成多达1万人失踪。
The flooding began when Mediterranean Storm Daniel dropped heavy rain on the area beginning Sunday night.
从周日晚上开始，地中海风暴丹尼尔在该地区降下暴雨，由此爆发了洪水。
As of Tuesday, more than 1,000 bodies had been recovered in the city of Derna alone. Emergency workers say they expect the number of dead to climb sharply.
截至周二，仅在德尔纳市就发现了1000多具尸体。急救人员表示，他们预计死亡人数将急剧攀升。
Flooding led to the collapse of at least two dams outside Derna, a coastal city of about 89,000 people, local officials said. A wall of water that passed through the city "erased everything in its way," witness Ahmed Abdalla told the Associated Press.
当地官员表示，德尔纳市是一座约有89000人的沿海城市，洪水导致德尔纳郊外至少两座大坝倒塌。目击者艾哈迈德·阿布达拉告诉美联社，一堵穿过城市的水墙“抹去了一切”。
A local minister of civil air travel in the country's east told Reuters news agency after visiting Derna that bodies were "lying everywhere," including the sea, in valleys and under buildings.
该国东部的一位民航部长在访问德尔纳市后告诉路透社，尸体“到处都是”，包括大海、山谷和建筑物下。
The minister local officials estimated about 25 percent of Derna had disappeared, with "many, many buildings" destroyed.
这位部长级地方官员估计，德尔纳市大约25%的面积已经不复存在，“很多很多建筑”被毁。
Storm Daniel hit other eastern Libyan towns, including Benghazi, the second largest city in the country. Tamer Ramadan is head of a delegation from the International Federation of the Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies. He told Reuters the number of missing had hit 10,000 and the total number of deaths would be "huge."

United Nations aid chief Martin Griffiths said in a message on X, formerly known as Twitter, that emergency teams had been deployed to help on the ground. Turkey and other countries immediately sent aid to Libya, including search and rescue vehicles, rescue boats, power generators and food.
联合国援助负责人马丁·格里菲思在X（前身为推特）网站上发表消息称，已经部署了应急小组在当地提供帮助。土耳其和其他国家立即向利比亚提供了援助，包括搜救车、救援船、发电机和食品。

网上发布的视频显示了大片淤泥和废墟，洪水冲走了德尔纳河岸的街区。这条河从山上流过城市，然后汇入大海。

包括军队、政府工作人员和志愿者在内的当地急救人员在废墟中挖掘，并用船只搜寻遇难者遗体。

军事指挥官哈利法·希夫特目前领导利比亚东部政府。经过数月的激战，他于2019年攻占了德尔纳。总部位于班加西的希夫特政府正在与总部位于首都的黎波里的西部政府作战。
Each side is backed by powerful militias and foreign powers. Egypt, Russia, Jordan and the United Arab Emirates support Hifter. Turkey, Qatar and Italy support the west Libya administration.
双方都有强大的民兵和外国势力撑腰。埃及、俄罗斯、约旦和阿拉伯联合酋长国支持希夫特政府。土耳其、卡塔尔和意大利支持利比亚西部政府。

Another plane, carrying humanitarian aid and rescue teams from Egypt, Turkey and the United Arab Emirates, also landed in Benghazi.
