Students enjoy at their rehabilitated classroom
TRIPOLI, Jan 7 (NNN-Xinhua) — The United Nations Development Program (UNDP) announced rehabilitating three schools in the Libyan capital Tripoli that were damaged by the armed conflict between the eastern-based army and forces of the UN-backed government.
“Through Libya stabilization (project), UNDP fully rehabilitated and handed over the Abdulbasit Al Hamroni School, Al Hakh Revolution School and Al Jelani Al Gargoti School located in Greater Tripoli,” UNDP said in a statement.
“After rehabilitation, 1,190 students will enjoy better education in an adequate learning environment,” the statement said.
The eastern-based army and the UN-backed government had been engaged in a deadly armed conflict for over a year in and around capital Tripoli, which ended in June 2020 when the UN-backed government announced its takeover of all western Libya after the withdrawal of the eastern-based army.
According to the UN-backed government, 14 schools in Tripoli were severely damaged by the armed conflict. — NNN-XINHUA
