Tripoli, 9 April 2015:

Kufra’s weeks'-long chronic shortage of cooking gas should be eased when 20 trucks arrive at the desert town, laden with gas cylinders.

A member of the local shoura council said that supplier Brega Marketing had assured the town that the convoy would be arriving today from Tobruk. A further four lorries carrying cooking gas would go on to Tazerbu.

There has not yet been any confirmation that the convoy has arrived in the town.
