The UN Secretary General hoped that this would be translated into an immediate and unconditional cessation of hostilities, according to the UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric.
“Given the already dire humanitarian situation in Libya and the possible impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the secretary-general calls on the parties to join forces to address the threat and to ensure unhindered access of humanitarian aid throughout the country,” the U.N. spokesman said.
Guterres urged both sides to accept the draft ceasefire agreement reached during U.N.-facilitated talks in Geneva last month, Dujarric said.
