(MENAFN) Death toll of the violence which erupted in the Libyan capital of Tripoli increased to 254, while the number of wounded victims hit 1,228.
It comes after Libya's eastern-based army was ordered to move to the west, specifically Tripoli, resulting in deadly clashes between them and the UN-backed government.
In an online statement, the World Health Organization (WHO) announced "in the past week, WHO Libya specialized emergency medical teams in frontline hospitals handled 89 major and 63 surgeries. Our teams are bringing in additional help for these hospitals."
WHO further affirmed that over 20,000 residents in the Libyan capital were pushed to leave their households ever since the clashes erupted.
