(MENAFN) Military officials controlling eastern Libya have banned women under 60 from travelling abroad on their own.
The ban is said to be for "national security reasons" and not driven by religious ideology.
BBC North Africa correspondent Rana Jawad says it will affect all passengers transiting through the east.
Libya is divided between two authorities - one in the east and an internationally recognised one based in the capital, Tripoli.
