DERNA, Libya: Sabreen Blil was on her hands and knees atop the rubble of her brother's house, the wind beating at her black robe as she clawed with her bare hands at the flattened masonry in hope of somehow digging to the family buried below."Taym, Yazan, Luqman, Salmah, Tumador, Hakim and his wife. Oh my God. My family, where are you?" she wailed."Oh God. Even just one - my God - just let me find even one body.
Demonstrator Taha Miftah, 39, demanded an international inquiry and"reconstruction under international supervision". People who survived the deadly storm that hit Libya, comfort their friend who lost his family members, as they protest outside the Al Sahaba mosque against the government in Derna, Libya September 18, 2023. REUTERS/Zohra BensemraSabreen Blil and other residents are mourning the uncounted thousands who are not on any confirmed list. She summons up a picture of her young nephew on her mobile phone, holding a kitten above his head in one outstretched hand.
"Hopes of finding survivors are fading, but we will continue efforts to search for any possible survivor," he said by phone. "Catastrophe. I am all alone now," Kassar murmured over and over. He escaped death only because he had left for neighbouring Egypt for medical treatment just before the storm struck Derna.
