China has remained neutral in this conflict. Under the Gaddafi regime, China engaged in various infrastructure activities with 35,000 Chinese laborers working across 50 projects, ranging from residential and railway construction to telecommunications and hydropower ventures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The year leading to Gaddafi\u2019s overthrow, Libya was providing three percent of China\u2019s crude oil supply, constituting roughly 150,000 barrels a day. All of China\u2019s top state oil firms \u2013 CNPC, Sinopec Group, and CNOOC \u2013 had had standing infrastructure projects in Libya. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the outbreak of protests in 2011, China sought to preserve economic ties with Libya and rejected the NATO-led military intervention. In late 2015, the GNA emerged as the new political authority, the product of negotiations brokered by the United Nations and backed by China.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Although many Chinese projects were suspended in Libya and bilateral trade decreased by 57 percent, China\u2019s neutrality paved the way for Beijing to stand in good stead with GNA for years to come. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
On May 13, WHO issued a joint statement on Libya emphasizing that the entire population of the country, especially some 400,000 Libyans that have been displaced \u2013 about half of them within the past year, since the attack on Tripoli — are at risk of Covid-19 pandemic.

The report talks about food security and latest assessments show that most cities are facing shortages of basic food items coupled with an increase in prices, urging all parties to protect the water supply facilities that have been deliberately targeted. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe look forward with anticipation to the pledged financial support to the Humanitarian Response Plan for Libya, as announced by the GNA,\u201d WHO statement said. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
