UN Libya Envoy: Lack of unified government hampering relief efforts
Libya has been at war with itself since the overthrow of Colonel Gaddafi in 2011. And that's led to an internationally recognized government in the west based in Tripoli and another rival government in the east which administers Derna. Many western countries say that the absence of an effective central government in Libya is making the delivery of relief supplies that much more difficult. Abdoulaye Bathily has been the UN Special Envoy for Libya since 2022. Newshour's Julian Marshall asked him if he agrees with that assessment?
