TEHRAN, September 04 - Libyan authorities say the death toll from fighting between rival armed groups in the capital Tripoli has climbed to at least 50 people including civilians.
TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) - The Health Ministry says Tuesday the clashes since late August have left at least 138 others wounded.
The fighting erupted last week between groups from Tripoli and rivals from a town to the south.
The U.N.-backed government has declared a state of emergency in and around the capital.
The U.N. mission in Libya has called for an "urgent dialogue on the security situation" in Tripoli on Tuesday.
