He said the devastation in Derna is far beyond the capabilities of his country.<\/p>\n<p>After more than a decade of chaos, Libya remains divided between two rival administrations: one in the east and one in the west, each backed by different militias and foreign governments. The conflict has left the oil rich North African country with crumbling and inadequate infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p>Derna was declared a disaster zone and more bodies were still under the rubble in the city&#8217;s neighborhoods, or washed away to the sea, according to Abduljaleel, the health minister.<\/p>\n<p>Residents posted videos online showing major devastation. Entire residential blocks were erased along Wadi Derna, a river that runs down from the mountains through the city center. Multi-story apartment buildings that once stood well back from the river were partially collapsed into mud.<\/p>\n<p>Abduljaleel said the city was inaccessible and bodies were scattered all over, according to Libya&#8217;s state-run news agency.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;The situation was more significant and worse than we expected.
