In fight for Libyan capital, 120 have been killed: WHO

On April 4, the self-styled Libyan National Army (LNA) launched a major military offensive against the UN-backed Government of National Accord (GNA). Now the World Health Organization says more than 120 people have been killed due to the clashes ever since.

The conflict goes on near the capital Tripoli.

While the LNA comprises forces loyal to renegade field marshal Khalifa Haftar, the GNA is administered by Prime Minister Fayez al-Serraj.

Over 560 people have also been injured, the WHO said Sunday, denouncing "repeated attacks on health care workers, vehicles."

On Saturday, the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) reported the displacement of more than 13,500 people. Over 900 residents are living in shelters.

"Three medical personnel have been killed and five ambulances have been incapacitated by shrapnel," said an OCHA statement.
