Civilians trapped within the Libyan capital of Tripoli continue to be exposed to nightmare conditions as the country’s situation becomes more critical.

Civilians, refugees, and health workers have all become targets of attack from forces on both sides of the conflict and Libya grows closer to a full-scale civil war with each passing day.
