Survivors of a flood that swept away the centre of a Libyan city picked through the ruins on Thursday in search of loved ones from among thousands of dead and missing, while authorities feared an outbreak of disease from rotting bodies. A torrent unleashed by a powerful storm burst dams on Sunday night and hurtled down a seasonal riverbed that bisects the city, washing multi-storey buildings into the sea with sleeping families inside. The mayor says the death toll could reach 20,000. As the global aid effort intensifies for flood-stricken Libya, FRANCE 24's Mark Owen is joined by Hossam Elsharkawi. Regional Director at International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies - IFRC, Middle East & North Africa.
