Libya’s battle against the coronavirus is being threatened by wars and division.The government is struggling to deal with an outbreak in the deep desert south.
The North African nation first reported cases of the virus in late March.
Then it seemed relatively contained as cases were very low compared to neighbouring countries.
Recently, the situation has rapidly changed with dozens of covid-19 cases being reported in the south’s largest oasis city of Sabha.
The UN-backed government, the GNA registered some 393 infections and five deaths nationwide on Friday, around half of them in Sabha.
