Meanwhile, it has also been announced that the Libyan Red Crescent in cooperation with the Red Cross has given food to 5,800 residents and displaced people in the eastern towns of Solug and Gemenis, south of Benghazi, to help them meet their daily needs. These places, like other cities in Libya, suffer from difficult economic conditions amid lack of liquidity,
