Five Greek rescue workers dispatched to Libya following devastating flooding in the eastern city of Derna were killed in a road collision on Sunday, according to the Armed Forces of Greece.
A bus carrying 19 Greek rescue workers collided with a vehicle carrying five Libyan nationals on the road between the cities of Benghazi and Derna. Three Libyans in the oncoming vehicle were also killed.
Some 11,300 people died when two dams collapsed during Mediterranean storm Daniel last week sending a wall of water gushing through the city, according to the Red Crescent aid group. A further 10,000 people are missing, and presumed dead.
Rescue workers from Greece, Turkey, Egypt and other countries have flocked to the decimated port city to offer help.
