President of the Libyan Presidency Council, Mohamed Menfi, on Monday called for international assistance to cope with the aftermath of the country's deadly floods that have killed over 2,000.

"We call on the brotherly and friendly countries and the international organizations to provide assistance and support for the disaster areas," Menfi said in a statement.

A Mediterranean storm made landfall in eastern Libya on Sunday, triggering flooding and destroying facilities along its path.
