The Man-made River Authority (MMRA) said Monday, that water supplies have been cut off to a number of cities in the western region after gunmen stormed the Shwerif site and forced workers to close the valves.

"This offensive will cut off water to the cities of Tripoli, Gharyan and all cities of Mount Nafusa, as well as Tarhouna and Bani Walid," a statement issued on the MMRA Facebook page said.

The MMRA urged the relevant authorities to assume their responsibilities and protect the components of the water system.
