Egypt has sent a group of soldiers to Libya to provide support and show solidarity with the Libyan people, according to BBC Monitoring.
Led by Lt Gen Osama Askar, the army chief of staff of Egypt, the group will start an airlift. They will use three aircraft to deliver medical supplies, food, and rescue teams. Another plane will assist in moving people who were hurt or killed during the storm.
The person speaking on behalf of the group shared pictures on Facebook that showed them being greeted by some Libyan military leaders, including Khalifa Haftar, who is in charge of the Libyan National Army in the eastern region.
In another message, the military spokesperson said that the Egyptian President, Abdul Fattah al-Sisi, told the armed forces to provide various kinds of help like medical staff, rescue tools, and temporary camps for people in need.
