00:38 Here's the head of the International Federation of the Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies delegation in Libya, Tamer Ramadan.

00:55 It might reach to thousands, really.
00:57 A Reuters journalist on the way to Derna saw vehicles overturned on the edges of roads, trees knocked down and abandoned flooded houses.
01:06 One local official said what he saw there was disastrous and that bodies are lying everywhere.
