The Libyan National Army 's ( LNA ) assault on Tripoli has led to the deaths of 21 people , with a further 181 wounded , according to local medical facilities , while ISIS has killed three people in the resulting turmoil . Those who manage to board a boat to Italy risk drowning or being sent back into detention in inhumane conditions, according to the U.N. migration agency, which estimates twice as many die in the Sahara desert as in the Mediterranean. Most of the casualties have been from Khalifa Haftar 's attacking rebel forces and the military of the internationally recognised government , but several civilians have also been killed , including two doctors . The chaos is likely to displace thousands of citizens and derail UN plans for peace talks . Meanwhile , jihadis have used the chaos to attack the town of Fuqaha , which is controlled by Haftar 's LNA .
