Nearly a week after devastating flooding in Libya killed at least 11,300 people and left more than 10,000 people missing, according to the U.N., rescue groups said that hopes for finding survivors were diminishing.
Now, the authorities have turned their focus to public health, fearing that conditions in the disaster zone could cause diseases to spread.
The tragedy has displaced more than 40,000 people, according to the International Organization of Migration.
Survivors are suffering a shortage of medical supplies and having to deal with contaminated drinking water.
