Libya fighting has displaced tens of thousands

Fighting in Libya's eastern city of Benghazi and in the west of the country has displaced tens of thousands and disrupted medical and health services, the International Committee of the Red Cross said.
"Services at the main hospitals have been severely disrupted by the unsettled security conditions, the departure of foreign workers and the acute shortage of medical supplies," said Antoine Grand, head of the Red Cross Libya delegation, who is based in Tunis.
The Red Cross said fighting to the south and west of Tripoli, in the western part of Libya, and in Sabha and Ubari in the south, is also displacing residents.
"There are frequent shortages of fuel, power and water supplies in the violence-affected areas; the prices of basic foods have soared, and infrastructure has suffered major damage," said Grand.
He added the security situation in some parts of the country has seriously deteriorated, making it extremely difficult for local and international humanitarian organizations to reach the victims.
Most foreign governments and international organizations pulled their staff and diplomats out of Libya due to fighting that engulfing the country since the fall of Moammar Gadhafi three yeas ago.
