Flooding and lightning strikes in Yemen have killed eight civilians, according to an official and a doctor, emphasizing the dangers of extreme weather in the war-ravaged country.

The lightning strikes happened on Friday in the Hodeidah governorate's al-Layha and al-Zahra districts on the Red Sea coast, according to Hamza Saied, a doctor at al-Layha Hospital.

"Six women and a man were killed, and three others were injured," Saied remarked.

The war on Yemen has resulted in one of the world's greatest humanitarian crises, according to the UN.

An anonymous source also reported the death of a woman and hundreds of homes destroyed in the Hais village on Friday.

The UN Population Fund reported days ago that extreme weather has caused over 200,000 people in the country to relocate, forcing some who have already been displaced to move.

"Heavy rain is now forecast to affect nearly 2 million displaced people over the coming weeks, threatening lives and livelihoods across multiple communities," the fund reported.

Libya is also experiencing intense flooding in the port city of Derna. 

Flash floods on Sunday submerged the port city, washing away thousands of people and homes into the sea due to two dams bursting under the pressure of torrential rains. 

As of Friday, there have been a minimum of 11,300 confirmed fatalities, accompanied by reports of 10,100 individuals who remain unaccounted for in the aftermath of the catastrophic floods.
