UN agencies warn of significant threat to life in Libya

Libyans are at risk because of conflict and the coronavirus pandemic, a group of UN agencies said Wednesday.

“Conflict and the COVID-19 pandemic present a significant threat to life in Libya. The health and safety of the country’s entire population are at risk,” said a joint statement by the humanitarian, human rights, children, population, food, health and migration agencies.

Defying repeated calls for a cease-fire, the “hostilities continue unabated, hindering access and the delivery of critical humanitarian supplies,” according to the statement.
