The United Nations has amended the previous death toll from Libya floods, stating that at least 3,958 people have died instead of 11,300 as was earlier reported by the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), CNN reported. According to the revised report updated on Sunday morning from the OCHA, the UN has now pegged the toll at 3,958, citing the World Health Organization (WHO). As per the updated report, over 9000 people are still missing, according to CNN. Farhan Haq, deputy spokesman for the UN Secretary-General, told CNN on Sunday, "We're going with figures just verified by WHO." The deputy spokesperson said the death toll figures are fluid and "can go upward or downward."
