Residents of the capital, Tripoli, reported an earthquake on Thursday, in which no losses were reported.
Anas Al-Mashri, the director of the press office at the Libyan Center for Remote Sensing and Space Science, said they do not have any details about the strength of the earthquake that was felt by the residents of the capital.
Al-Mashri added in a statement to Libya Al-Ahrar that weather stations are stopped, indicating that international observatories have not recorded anything in this regard and that they are in contact with neighboring countries to provide them with their observatory data.
On the other hand, the local contact center reported that external damages occurred in a local household in the Ain Zara suburb due to the earthquake. The contact center also confirmed that it has directed ambulances and patrols to the location in anticipation of any emergency that requires intervention.
For his part, Prime Minister Abdulhamid Dbeibah assured the government is following up on the developments of the earthquake with the Libyan Center for Remote Sensing and Space Science, and with the National Safety Authority and all relevant state institutions to take necessary measures.
In turn, Ramadan Boujnah, Minister of Health in the Government of National Unity (GNU), assigned emergency medical and ambulance teams to take all necessary measures and be prepared for any emergency that may result from earthquakes by deploying teams and equipment supplies throughout Greater Tripoli.
Seismological observatories in the country are facing a crisis due to the national monitoring network being out of operation for years and its stations being stopped.
