The forces of Omar Al-Mukhtar Operations Room, which is part of Dignity Operation, allowed four trucks with flour cargoes to enter the besieged city of Derna via Martuba, in east of the city.

Sources from the city said the flour cargoes arrived in Martuba on Monday, but the Omar Al-Mukhtar Operations Room forces prevented it from entering Derna.

"After negotiations, mediators convinced the commander of the Omar Al-Mukhtar Operations Room to allow the cargoes to enter the city."

Since July, no flour cargoes have entered Derna as Dignity Operation forces continue to siege the city blocking all its entrances and exits, leading 95% of the bakeries to close due to the end of their flour stock.

Derna has been besieged by Haftar-led forces for over a year, with a toughened grip on the city over the last two months, leading to deteriorated conditions amid lack of medicines, food and other basic needs.
