The Red Crescent says the death toll from floods in Libya has risen to at least 11,000 people, with 20,000 more still missing.

International rescue teams are still searching for possible survivors in the mud and ruins of the city of Derna.

The mayor of the city has said there's an urgent need for teams specialising in recovering bodies, and it's estimated a third of those impacted are children.

UNICEF Libya representative Michele Servadei spoke to Corin Dann.
