At least three members of a Greek rescue team and three members of a Libyan family have died in a road accident.
The rescuers were among a team traveling in a bus to the flood-ravaged town of Derna on Sunday when their vehicle collided with a car carrying the family.
Two others in the car and eight others on the bus were seriously injured, according to a Libyan official.
An investigation has been launched into the incident.
Othman Abdeljalil, health minister in the administration that runs the country's east, told a news conference that the team had been traveling from the eastern city of Benghazi when the crash occurred.
He put the death toll at four, but Greece's armed forces reported three dead and two missing.
Libya is divided between two rival governments - a UN-backed administration based in the capital Tripoli and a rival Egyptian-backed authority based in Benghazi.
Greek authorities said a bus carrying medical personnel collided with an oncoming vehicle and reported that three members of Greece's humanitarian mission were dead and two were missing.
They added that it was unclear what exactly had happened and that they were investigating the incident in cooperation with Libya, while an operation was underway to repatriate their personnel. A diplomatic source told the Greek news site Kathimerini that 16 members of the team were Greek rescuers and three were translators.
They were on their way to join teams already on the ground from other countries, including France and Italy.
Thousands of people were killed when two dams on the Derna broke during a powerful storm a week ago. The UN says the death toll so far is around 11,300.
More than 10,000 others remain officially missing, according to figures from the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs.
