Libyans still traumatised by deadly 2023 Derna flood, but reconstruction offers hope

Nearly three years after a catastrophic storm tore through eastern Libya's port city of Derna the city is getting back on its feet. But the trauma persists: the flood killed nearly 4,000 people. Reconstruction provides a glimmer of hope here, where some residents said it helps them cope with the tragedy they lived through.
