Fighting in Libya’s capital has killed 56 people and wounded 266 over the last six days, the World Health Organization said on Thursday, as the UN mobilised to support the country’s over-stretched hospitals.
WHO added that it has dispatched emergency teams to “frontline hospitals” and is boosting its stocks of medical supplies in areas affected by the fighting. WHO’s representative in Libya, Syed Jaffar Hussain, warned in the statement that an extended conflict and continuing casualties will “drain the area’s limited supplies and further damage health infrastructure.”
