The United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) said that five schools were destroyed, while 210 others closed, and more than 115,000 children were deprived of education due to the recent escalation of fighting around the Libyan capital, Tripoli, following the attack of Haftar's forces.
In a statement issued yesterday, the international organization added that the recent escalation of violence in and around the capital, Tripoli, led to huge losses in children's education.
She added that the recent attacks on educational facilities and the lack of public security in and around Tripoli have made children's lives at stake by just going to school every day and turning schools in Tripoli into terrifying places.
She stressed that education is a basic right for every child, even in conflict-affected areas.
It also considered that attacks on educational facilities are a serious violation of children's rights, international humanitarian law and human rights law.
UNICEF called on parties to the conflict in Libya to protect children at all times, stop attacks against schools and refrain from violence, including indiscriminate attacks against civilians and civilian infrastructure.
And Saturday, thirty students were killed and 33 wounded, in an air strike targeting the headquarters of the Military College in the Libyan capital, Tripoli.
Since April 4, Haftar's forces have been striving to take control of Tripoli, the seat of government.
This attack aborted the efforts made by the United Nations to hold a dialogue conference between the Libyans, within the framework of an international road map to address the Libyan conflict.
