The United Nations Development Program (UNDP) in Libya has provided local authorities in Sabha's city, south of Libya, with mobile sewage suction pumps.

The new equipment will allow the General Water and Sewage Company in Sabha to conduct a cleanup operation of the city sewage network, and help it to uphold sanitation standards to serve its people.

The step is part of a broader UNDP development plan to enhance the services delivered to around 200,000 people in the south, by providing adequate infrastructure, sanitation facilities, and encouraging hygiene, which is key in times of COVID-19, says the UNDP.
