Of the 15 injured, seven are in critical condition, Othman Abduljaleel told a televised news conference, calling the accident “terrible”.
Several countries sent search and rescue teams after the deluge that killed more than 11,000 people.
The death toll from the devastating floods in the city of Derna, located on the east coast of Libya, has risen to at least 11,300 dead, according to a UN report published on Saturday, while search efforts continue, writes CNN.
