What do we know about the attack?
A hangar housing migrants at the Tajoura Detention Centre, which houses 600 migrants, reportedly took a direct hit. Women and children were among the victims, Guma El-Gamaty, a member of the UN-backed political dialogue group, told BBC World Service. An official in the Libyan health ministry, Doctor Khalid Bin Attia, described the carnage for the BBC after attending the scene: "People were everywhere, the camp was destroyed, people are crying here, there is psychological trauma, the lights cut off. "We couldn't see the area very clear but just when the ambulance came, it was horrible, blood is everywhere, somebody's guts in pieces." The UN issued a stark warning in May that those living in the Tajoura centre should be moved immediately out of harm's way. "The risks are simply unacceptable at this point," the UN refugee agency said.DISCLAIMER: The Views, Comments, Opinions, Contributions and Statements made by Readers and Contributors on this platform do not necessarily represent the views or policy of Multimedia Group Limited.
