Libya: poor access still hampers medical aid to west

Summary

More than two weeks after the start of the unrest in Libya, access to wounded and sick people in the west of the country remains problematic due to the ongoing insecurity. The ICRC's director general reminds everyone taking part in the violence that health workers must be allowed to do their jobs safely. Meanwhile, shipments of ICRC medical supplies have started to arrive in the east of the country and are being distributed in Benghazi and Al-Bayda.
