The Libyan National Army's (LNA) assault on Tripoli has led to the deaths of 47 people, with a further 181 wounded, according to local medical facilities, while ISIS has killed three people in the resulting turmoil. Most of the casualties have been from Khalifa Haftar's attacking rebel forces and the military of the internationally recognised government, but nine civilians have also been killed, including two doctors. A U.N.-sponsored peace conference, scheduled to start on Sunday in the southwestern town of Ghadames, looked sure to be postponed. In an interview with Al Jazeera last week, Dr Ahmed al-Misrati said that he had treated at least 20 patients who were injured during fighting between his hospital and ISIS. Meanwhile, jihadis have used the unrest to attack the town of Fuqaha, which is controlled by Haftar's LNA.
