The UN-backed Libyan government on Thursday decided to reduce the daily curfew time from 24 to 12 hours next week.
The new curfew will start on April 28, from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. local time (1600 to 0400 GMT), during which the movement of vehicles will be allowed instead of the previous tight restriction.
All government administrative agencies will keep only 10 % of their staff, and banks will be reopened for the public.
