Benghazi – “What I saw yesterday is incomprehensible”: With these words, the UN emergency aid coordinator for Libya, Georgette Gagnon, summarized her impressions following a visit to the disaster area.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), around 4,000 fatalities have been identified so far. The number of victims is likely to rise.
