UNSMIL announced that it is extremely concerned about the deteriorating humanitarian situation in Tripoli and its surroundings as a result of the intensification of fighting in the past few days.

It said these attacks have also resulted in renewed displacement and damage to civilian properties and infrastructure.  On 17 April, the Royal Hospital in Tripoli was also hit, resulting in extensive damage to the intensive care unit and the evacuation of staff and patients, it added.
