Picture: REUTERS/Esam Omran Al-FetoriFighting near Tripoli has killed 121 people since strongman Khalifa Haftar launched an offensive earlier in April to take the Libyan capital, the World Health Organisation said on Sunday.
The UN organisation denounced “repeated attacks on health- care workers” and vehicles during the fighting, in messages on its Libya Twitter feed. In the chaos since, a bewildering array of militias have been seeking to take control, and fighting has flared again shortly before a conference had been scheduled to discuss Libya’s future, an event since cancelled.
One air strike, which the GNA blames on Haftar’s forces, hit a school in Ain Zara, south of Tripoli, which has been the scene of violent clashes for days. The LNA, meanwhile, accused the Tripoli-based forces of an air raid targeting civilians in the Gasr Ben Ghachir region, 30km south of Tripoli.
