Libya declares emergency as Storm Daniel kills 150

At least 150 people have died after a powerful storm caused severe flooding in eastern Libya, an official has said.

Storm Daniel made landfall in the North African nation over the weekend, prompting authorities to declare a state of extreme emergency. Last week, it killed a dozen people in Europe.

Seven Libyan army personnel have gone missing during ongoing rescue efforts.

Officials in eastern Libya have imposed a curfew, while schools and shops have been ordered to close.
