Red Cross leaves Tripoli

Delegation of the International Committee of the Red Cross (@ICRC) in Libya left Tripoli, according to their own statement on the Twitter micro blog page.

“We didn’t want to leave. But as fighting intensified, we couldn’t stand it.

We were scared we would be hit by a shell, so we left. We didn’t bring anything.”
