UN calls for ‘urgent’ Libya truce to evacuate civilians, wounded
TRIPOLI, April 7, 2019 (BSS/AFP) – The UN made an “urgent” appeal Sunday
for a two-hour truce in the southern suburbs of Tripoli to evacuate wounded
and civilians as Libyan forces of strongman Khalifa Haftar pushed to take the
capital.
UNSMIL, the UN mission in Libya, called on “all armed parties in the Wadi
Rabi area, Al-Kayekh, Gasr Ben Ghachir and Al-Aziziya to respect a
humanitarian truce ( between 1400 and 1600 GMT) to secure the evacuation of
wounded and civilians by rescue teams and the Libyan Red Crescent”.
