11-05-2011 FilmRef. V-F-CR-F-01091w2

The city of Ajdabiya has been the scene of heavy fighting between rebels and pro-Gaddafi forces. While the battle lines have moved on, many people are not returning home because of the threat posed by unexploded munitions such as rockets, shells and mortars. The ICRC is the first to start clearing these abandoned weapons of war in Libya.
