The Head of the Presidential Council of Libya, (PC) Fayez Al-Sirraj, has discussed with a delegation from the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) the latter's assistance to handle the humanitarian crisis caused by war and conflicts in Libya.

In a meeting on Monday, Al-Sirraj reviewed with the ICRC's director of operations Dominik Stillhart and others, the activities done by the organization before and the upcoming ones scheduled for 2019.

Al-Sirraj reiterated his ideas dicussed last February with the ICRC's General Director, including the need to expand cooperation to contain sectors like health, social affairs and others.

Al-Sirraj also expressed willingness to support the ICRC in all ways in order for it to work properly in Libya.

Currently, southern Libya is seeing terrible humanitarian crisis amid a military operation led by Khalifa Haftar's self-styled army.
