US embassy in Libya urges for deesclation in Sirte

The United States Embassy in Libya expressed “urgent concerns” about the possibility of another humanitarian crisis in Libya; in Sirte this time.

In a statement on the continuation of the escalation in Sirte, the embassy called on all parties to the conflict in Libya to stop the escalation, respect their obligations under international humanitarian law, and refrain from engaging in reprisals and sabotage targeting civilians and civilian infrastructure, saying violators will be held to account.

The US embassy indicated that the continued escalation in Sirte will exacerbate the suffering of civilians, sow divisions that can be exploited by extremists, as well as divert resources away from responding to the Coronavirus pandemic.
