Libyan Hospital Faces Crisis After Armed Assault on Staff

Libyan Hospital Faces Crisis After Armed Assault on Staff
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

The General Director of Ghadames General Hospital, Wisam Al-Saadi, has revealed that medical staff and patients were subjected to verbal abuse and armed intimidation inside the hospital on Thursday night.

In a press statement to Fawasel, Al-Saadi stated that the incident, which involved weapons being displayed inside the hospital, caused widespread panic among patients and healthcare workers. This led to an immediate exodus of both medical staff and patients, severely impacting hospital operations.

“The attack has resulted in a growing reluctance among medical personnel and support staff to continue working,” he explained.

Due to the security risks, the hospital has decided to limit its services to emergency cases only until the situation improves.

This incident raises concerns about the safety of healthcare professionals in Libya and highlights the urgent need for enhanced security measures in medical facilities across the country.

Libya has been in chaos since a NATO-backed uprising toppled longtime leader Muammar Gaddafi in 2011. The county has for years been split between rival administrations.

Libya’s economy, heavily reliant on oil, has suffered due to the ongoing conflict. The instability has led to fluctuations in oil production and prices, impacting the global oil market and Libya’s economy.

The conflict has led to a significant humanitarian crisis in Libya, with thousands of people killed, and many more displaced. Migrants and refugees using Libya as a transit point to Europe have also faced dire conditions.

The planned elections for December 2021 were delayed due to disagreements over election laws and the eligibility of certain candidates. This delay has raised concerns about the feasibility of a peaceful political transition.

Despite the ceasefire, security remains a significant concern with sporadic fighting and the presence of mercenaries and foreign fighters. The unification of the military and the removal of foreign forces are crucial challenges.
