Geneva .- The UN estimates that at the moment is impossible to think of a humanitarian corridor in Libya because aid agencies have only sporadic access to the country, according to a spokesman for the Humanitarian Aid Department of the organization, Elizabeth Byrs. "The problem is access to the interior of Libya.
For now are sporadic access to humanitarian organizations and the UN, and are largely confined to Benghazi (city liberated from the control scheme Muammar Gaddafi), but we can not go to Tripoli "he said. In these circumstances, "we can not talk of humanitarian corridors," said the spokesman, who said that "all UN agencies are ready to go (to Libya), but the problem is (lack of) security." It also revealed that a UN assessment mission that could move quickly to the east of the country has confirmed that "the supply line is cut off from Tripoli and concerned by the lack of fuel, food and medicine." "Our primary concern is the west" of Libya, emphasized in reference to the area that remains under government control and that neither humanitarian personnel and journalists have been reached.
"We looked at several scenarios very carefully. Our priority is to assist at the border (in Tunisia), and the humanitarian needs inside Libya, when we have reviews on it," he said. Byrs asked "not to forget the border with Niger because there are many citizens of this country are arriving in trucks."
