UNSMIL expresses regret for hindering its flights to Libya
Libyan Cloud News Agency – Tunisia
The United Nations Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL) has expressed regret that its regular flights, which transport its staff to and from Libya, are not granted permission by the Libyan National Army to land in Libya.
UNSMIL said in a statement that this practice has been repeated on several occasions in the past weeks.
“The United Nations is very concerned that preventing its flights from traveling in and out of Libya will severely hinder its humanitarian and good offices effort,” UNSMIL indicated.
It noted that all its staff are working relentlessly to push forward the ongoing three-track intra-Libyan dialogue and to provide the much-needed humanitarian assistance to the most vulnerable conflict-affect civilians.
