pandemic, libya's healthcare system was already on the verge of collapse, given the chaos that has prevailed in the country since 2011. warring factions in the libyan civil war disregarded repeated entreaties from the united nations for a ceasefire during the pandemic. the internationally recognized government of national accord (gna), based in tripoli, and the rival government under khalifa haftar, based in eastern libya, both took steps to control the spread of covid-19, through the closure of schools, markets, and some businesses. haftar's forces have attempted to take tripoli, the libyan capital, in an offensive that began in april 2019. hundreds have been killed, and thousands have been displaced, in the fighting. on 24 march, libya confirmed its first covid-19 case, a 73-year-old man who had returned to the country on 5 march from a trip to saudi arabia. on 30 march, the gna announced the release of 466 detainees in tripoli, as part of an effort to stop the spread of the virus in prisons. by the end of march ten persons had tested positive for covid-19. one patient had recovered and nine remained active cases at the end of the month. april to june on 5 april, mahmoud jibril, age 68, who headed the interim national transitional council in 2011, died from covid-19 in cairo, egypt, after having been admitted to the hospital on march 21. on 6 april, forces under the command of khalifa haftar launched a grad rocket attack against al khadra general hospital, one of tripoli's largest hospitals, injured six health workers and substantially damaged the hospital, where 300 patients, including two covid-19 patients, were being treated. this was the third time that haftar's forces attacked medical facilities during their intensified siege of tripoli. the united nations office for the coordination of humanitarian affairs condemned the attack as an "appalling" and "clear violation of international humanitarian law ... it is unacceptable at a time when healthcare and health workers are vital in our fight against a global pandemic." the office stated that "this senseless escalation must stop so that health authorities and aid agencies can respond to covid-19 and continue reaching people in need of urgent humanitarian assistance." renewed rocket attacks against the hospital continued the following day. on 7 april, eastern libya
