Aid agencies in Libya called on Tuesday for a U.N. resolution to support people caught in fighting around Tripoli , where the United Nations says 66,000 people have been forced out of their homes and at least 454 killed since early April. Haftar is supported by Egypt and the United Arab Emirates but denounced by internationally-recognised Prime Minister Fayez Serraj as an "aspiring military dictator". Charlie Yaxley, a UNHCR spokesman, said nobody should be returned to Libya and returning people there could not be considered a "rescue". Hotels and resorts have been mobilised to receive the displaced, the head of the government Emergency Committee, Othman Abduljaleel, told official Al-Rasmiya TV channel. Meanwhile, exchanges of gunfire and rockets continued but there were no changes to the frontlines around the capital.
