The United Nations is installing solar panels to power hospitals in Libya. They hope it will provide a solution to the long and frequent power outages that have become a problem for the country's healthcare system. The Âé¶¹Éç's Rana Jawad spoke to Noura Hamladji, country director for the UNDP, and Dr. Anas al-Barghathi who runs the Al-Kwefia hospital in Benghazi. (Photo: Solar panels on the roof of a hospital.
