利比亚政府部队星期六及星期天在东部城市班加西和武装伊斯兰民兵发生冲突,造成至少38人丧生。

埃及国家电台也报道说,有23名埃及人在利比亚首都的里波里丧生,此前一枚火箭弹击中了这些埃及人在机场附近的住所。当地对立民兵组织之间的激战已经进入了第三个星期。

利比亚前领导人卡扎菲被赶下台的2011年内战后,该国目前面临着最严重的暴力浪潮。美国、联合国以及土耳其都撤离了各自的外交人员。

美国国务院星期六在一份声明中建议,在利比亚的美国公民立即撤离。

美国国务院和英国外交部也都建议在利比亚的本国国民立即经商业途径撤离该国。

At least 38 people have been killed in the eastern Libya city of Benghazi as Libyan government forces clashed with armed Islamist militants on Saturday and Sunday.

Egypt's state media is also reporting the deaths of 23 Egyptians in the Libyan capital, Tripoli, after a rocket hit their home near the airport, where deadly fighting between rival militias is entering a third week.

Libya is facing the worst surge in violence since the 2011 war that ousted leader Moammar Gadhafi.

The United States, the United Nations and Turkey have removed diplomatic staff.

In statements issued in the past few days, the U.S. State Department and Britain's Foreign and Commonwealth Office also recommended their citizens in Libya depart immediately by commercial means.
