Five people were sent by the Tripoli-based government to Italy and Spain in order to receive medical treatment for injuries sustained from fuel tanker explosion in the southern town of Bent Bayya, which took place last Monday. The ministry also announced that, on the same day, another wounded victim was sent to Spain for treatment. All five were severely wounded and are in a critical condition, the ministry said. At least 8 people were killed and 70 were injured in the deadly fuel tanker explosion in the southern town of Bent Bayya. Tripoli-based premier Abdul Hamid Dbeibeh announced last Tuesday that his government will send 15 wounded Libyans to Italy and 10 to Spain to receive treatment abroad as Libyan hospitals lack technical capabilities to care for those severely wounded in Bent Bayya incident.
