Death toll from Tripoli clashes in Libya rises to 32
TRIPOLI, Libya (AA) – The death toll from clashes between rival militias in Tripoli rose to 32, Libyan health authorities said on Sunday.
In a statement, the Health Ministry said 159 people were injured in the violence that rocked several districts in the Libyan capital.
Calm prevailed in Tripoli on Sunday, one day after heavy clashes between forces backing Prime Minister Abdul Hamid Dbeibeh and those loyal to his rival Fathi Bashagha, who was appointed by the Tobruk-based parliament as prime minister.
The violence, the worst since a cease-fire in 2020, caused severe material damage to private and public properties in the capital.
Oil-rich Libya has remained in turmoil since 2011 when Muammar Gaddafi was ousted after four decades in power.
