Recently, in Libya the United Nations have been trying to solve the problem of food, gas and water supply shortage in Tripoli. The situation is still very fragile. However, U.N. has been trying to help with the humanitarian situation. Although with the fighting recently esculating they have been very cautious to do so. UNICEF teamed up with the U.N to distrubute 500,000 bottles of water to the people of Libya. The World Food Programme has also played a huge role in the help of Libyan people. They provided over 600 metric tons of food which is estimated to feed over 35,000 people. In addition to this, they supplied 250,000 metric tons of gas It is great to see all these programs grouping up to help one big cause, it is just amazing.Experts believe that this shortage is effecting over 60% of the country of 1.6 million people. It is clear the effects the war has put on the country Tripoli. With the war now peeking it's 6th month, there is no indication of it ending anytime soon especially with Gadhafi still on the loose. The people will continue to fight until he is dead. Recently, Mustafa Abdel Jalil, the chairman of the National Transitional Council has said that anyone in the regime would be pardoned of any crime of such sort if they captured or killed Gadhafi. With there pardon they would be rewarded 2m Libyan dinars (£1m) as well. With this target on Gadhafi's head, it strikes the question. How and when will this war come to and end, and will order ever be restored fully in Tripoli?
