UN says 443 dead and 2,110 injured in Tripoli offensive

-

The U.N. health agency said 443 people have died and 2,110 have been wounded in violence in Libya’s capital since the head of the self-styled Libyan National Army launched an offensive against Tripoli last month.

As the number of people displaced by fighting approached 60,000, the World Health Organizati­on said in a tweet Wednesday that it is working to coordinate health services for them.

U.N. deputy spokesman Farhan Haq said Wednesday the United Nations is very concerned about reports that airstrikes a day earlier hit a migrant detention center in Tajoura in eastern Tripoli, injuring two migrants.
