‘There’s real fear and frustration in America’: Dumb Money’s Craig Gillespie on fighting fire with ire
This picture taken on September 19, 2023 shows a view of a mud-covered stairwell in the house of Mohamed Badr, 23, a survivor of the flooding who lost his brother and whose house was engulfed with mud in the recent deadly flash floods in Libya's eastern city of Derna. In Libya's flood-hit town of Derna, the breeze from the Mediterranean Sea mixes with the nauseating stench of human remains buried under the rubble. Ten days after a tsunami-scale wall of water ripped through the town, razing entire neighbourhoods, the traumatised survivors are waiting to learn the fate of missing loved ones, without any illusions.
