WFP is dispatching around 600 metric tons of staple food commodities including wheat flour, pasta, vegetable oil and tomato paste to the Libyan capital for distribution by the Libyan Red Crescent (LRC) to provide much needed assistance to more than 35,500 conflict-affected and displaced people for one month.

Libya Convoy 4 At the request of Libya’s National Transitional Council (NTC), WFP is looking to procure 250,000 metric tons of gasoline that would cover immediate life-saving humanitarian needs for one month. Fuel supplies have been disrupted by the fighting, and water and electricity supplies depend on fuel-run generators. Fuel is also required for hospitals, ambulances and vehicles to distribute critically needed medicines, food, water, and other supplies.

WFP is reaching Tripoli and the western towns by sea and land via the Ras Ajdir border crossing in Tunisia -- the main supply route to Tripoli.
