BENGHAZI, Libya - At least 150 people were killed in freak floods in eastern Libya as a result of storm Daniel which has swept the Mediterranean, an official said on Monday.

Images filmed by residents of the disaster area showed massive mudslides, collapsed buildings and entire neighbourhoods submerged under water.

Experts have described storm Daniel -- which also struck parts of Greece, Turkey and Bulgaria in recent days, killing at least 27 people -- as"extreme in terms of the amount of water falling in a space of 24 hours". The United Nations mission in Libya on Monday said on X, formerly Twitter, that it was"closely following the emergency caused by severe weather conditions in the eastern region of the country".
