The UN mission in Libya has called for an immediate cessation of military operations near El Feel oil field for the safety of staff and oil installations.

"The disruption of oil production would affect all Libyans across the country and would increase their suffering," the UN mission stated Wednesday, expressing concern over the hostilities in El Feel field and the suspension of its production.

"Libya's oil facilities are owned by all Libyans and should be exclusively under the control of the National Oil Corporation," UNSMIL stressed.
