UN Calls for 'Urgent' Libya Truce to Evacuate Civilians, Wounded

TRIPOLI — 

The U,N. made an "urgent" appeal Sunday for a two-hour truce in the southern suburbs of Tripoli to evacuate wounded and civilians as Libyan forces of strongman Khalifa Haftar pushed to take the capital.

UNSMIL, the UN mission in Libya, called on "all armed parties in the Wadi Rabi area, Al-Kayekh, Gasr Ben Ghachir and Al-Aziziya to respect a humanitarian truce ( between 1400 and 1600 GMT) to secure the evacuation of wounded and civilians by rescue teams and the Libyan Red Crescent."
