TRIPOLI, June 25 (Xinhua) -- A total of 739 people have been killed and 4,407 others injured in the fighting in and around Libya's capital Tripoli, the World Health Organization (WHO) said Tuesday.

"WHO continues to ship medicines to make sure doctors have what they need to treat the injured," WHO added.

The east-based army, led by Khalifa Haftar, has been leading a military campaign since early April to take over Tripoli, where the UN-backed government is based.

Libya has been struggling to undergo a transitional period amid chaos since the fall of former leader Muammar Gaddafi in 2011. Enditem
