The United Nations reached an agreement with Muammar Qaddafi’s regime that would permit aid workers and supplies into the embattled Libyan port city of Misrata, as almost 1,000 stranded migrant workers, mostly Ghanaians, were evacuated by ship.
UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said today that the Libyan government agreed that it would also allow greater access of aid workers and supplies to Qaddafi’s capital, Tripoli, and areas of western Libya under government control. Ban, speaking in Budapest, said the UN already has a humanitarian presence in Benghazi, the rebel capital.
