The death toll from devastating floods in Libya's eastern city of Derna has risen to 4,209 people, according to local officials.
Meanwhile, the UN’s International Organization for Migration (IOM) said 429 migrants reportedly lost their lives in the catastrophe caused by Storm Daniel.
It said that as of September 30, 42,045 people were displaced from areas affected by the floods.
Spokesman of the Libyan National Army (LNA) Major General Ahmed Al-Mismari said teams of the General Authority for Search and Identification of Missing Persons were able to recover on Thursday eight unidentified bodies from Derna.
Chairman of the Presidential Council Mohamed Menfi discussed with Ibrahim Al Arabi, Health Minister in Libya's Tripoli-based Government of National Unity (GNU), the health situation in Derna and the Green Mountain regions.
The social and psychological support team affiliated with the Emergency and Rapid Response Committee have discussed coordinating efforts between sectors to provide support to survivors of the floods.
The government had previously announced it would provide mental health support to those affected by the disaster.
The IOM said an estimated 42,045 people remain displaced after Storm Daniel made landfall in northeastern Libya on September 11.
It added that four percent of displaced individuals are in western Libya and the rest are in eastern regions.
