UN envoy Ghassan Salame says the attack that wounded more than 80 people could constitute a war crime.

Britain moved to condemn the air strike blamed on warlord Khalifa Haftar’s self styled Libyan National Army who have threatened to increase air strikes on the capital Tripoli.

But the United States requires approval from Washington before being able to sign the declaration.

United Nations High Commission for Refugees spokesman Charlie Yaxley calls for immediate action.

“We have to see a change now. There has to be an immediate release from all the refugees detained in these centres in Libya and we have to make sure that no rescued refugee, rescued from the central Mediterranean, is taken back to Libya,” he says

UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres is outraged at the attack and calls for an independent investigation to ensure the perpetrators are brought to justice
