The United States has revealed plans to contribute an additional amount of $6.5 million to Libya as part of its support efforts to assist the health authorities in the country to respond to the Covid-19 pandemic.
In a statement on Friday, the American embassy in Tripoli said that the total amount of financial aid contributed by the USA in Libya to date stands in excess of $12 million, indicating that this funding will be solely used to increase the capacity of the health authorities to detect, prevent and control the Coronavirus in Libya.
Khalifa Haftar’s forces have targeted Tripoli Central Hospital on Al-Zawiya Street in downtown the capital, leaving the residents, staffers and patients in total panic in the early hours of Thursday.
According to the Health Ministry under the command of the Government of National Accord, the indiscriminate shelling by Haftar’s forces wounded at least 14 civilians and damaged houses and properties on Tariq Al-Soor and other targeted neighborhoods in Tripoli.
The Health Ministry also said that two or three sections of the Tripoli Central Hospital had been hit by the indiscriminate rockets, saying such attacks could lead to the shutdown of the hospital.
