The United Nations mission in Libya called for de-escalation Monday after fighting erupted in the North African nation’s capital.

The UN Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL) expressed concern Tuesday over ongoing clashes in the North African nation’s capital. "UNSMIL is deeply alarmed by escalating violence in densely populated neighborhoods of Tripoli for the second night in a row, placing countless civilians at grave risk," it said on X.

The United Nations voiced alarm on Thursday at escalating violence in Tripoli, warning of a "severe risk of mass displacement and danger to civilians". The UN's International Organisation for Migration (IOM) called "for an immediate cessation of hostilities to ensure the safety and wellbeing of civilians in accordance with International Humanitarian Law".
