Libyan Officials Detained After Dams Collapse, Causing Massive Flooding and Thousands of Deaths

Two dams near Derna, Libya collapsed after heavy rains, causing massive flooding and the destruction of neighborhoods.
The flood is estimated to have killed between 4,000 to over 11,000 people, with many bodies still missing.
Libya's chief prosecutor has ordered the detention of eight current and former officials to investigate allegations of negligence and mismanagement related to the dams.
The dams were damaged during Libya's civil war and a 2007 project to repair them was never completed.
There are calls for an international investigation due to mistrust in Libya's institutions and concerns the disaster extends beyond just local negligence.
