Water supplies have been cut off in Tripoli and some cites in central and western Libya.
The supply was interrupted after an armed group attacked the Man-made River pipelines and forced workers to block the supply.
Libyan officials said the water supply will not be restored until the attackers’ demands are met but did not elaborate on the demands.
Interior Ministry in Tripoli said in a statement that the armed group is loyal to Khalifa Hanaish, who is part of Khalifa Haftar’s forces.
The ministry added that Hanaish is pressing the government via such sabotage acts to release his brother Al-Mabrouk Hanaish who is arrested on criminal charges – being part of a banned organization – and is now awaiting court ruling.
