London, 2 August 2021:

Minister of Health, Ali Zanati, announced that Libya contracted with one of the countries (widely believed to be Egypt) to import one million litres of medical grade oxygen, at a rate of 100,000 litres per day, indicating that it would be a strategic stockpile for emergency in the event of a shortage of oxygen.

The revelation came during his meeting with Prime Minister Abd Alhamid Aldabaiba Saturday during which they conducted a review of the pandemic and the health sector.
