UN to aid Sirte reconstruction

2012-02-10

The Libyan city of Sirte will receive more reconstruction aid from the United Nations, the UN News Center reported on Thursday (February 9th).

"I wanted to see for myself the extent of destruction this city suffered as a result of the war," UN Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL) head Ian Martin said during his Wednesday visit to Sirte.

The UN Special Envoy met with local officials, who shared their concerns about education, health care, mines and the status of internally displaced persons.

In related news Thursday, the United Nations hailed Libya's adoption of new electoral laws, describing the move as "an important step in Libya's transition to democracy".
