Libya says death toll from Tripoli clashes climbs to 96

TRIPOLI - 21 September 2018: The death toll from weeks of fighting between armed groups in Libya's capital, Tripoli, has climbed to at least 96 people, including civilians, authorities said Friday.

In addition to the fatalities, the clashes have wounded 444 people. Also, 16 people are missing, ABC News reported.

The violence has shattered a UN-brokered cease-fire reached earlier this month.

The Libyan Health Ministry said on Thursday, 11 people, including eight civilians, were killed and 33 others were wounded in southern Tripoli.

The UN mission tweeted on Thursday, urging warring parties "to immediately cease all acts of violence in Tripoli."
