The death toll from weeks of fighting in Libya is unknown, but it is believed thousands have been killed. Speaking in Cairo, the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees António Guterres appealed for humanitarian access to civilians victimized by the conflict.

António Guterres: “I also would like to say how concerned we are with the humanitarian situation in Libya. There is a lot of discussion in the world, a lot of coverage of the military and the political aspect of the conflict, but very little attention to the humanitarian dramatic situation in the country.”
