We have already identified a huge gap to build the capacity of the local civil society organisations. We aim to create a stronger mechanism of networking, cooperation and coordination amongst the local organisations and governmental departments.
On my trip, I met up with many governmental organisations as well as INGOs and local community based organisations and emerging organisations from Western Libya.
I discussed with other humanitarian workers what comes next. We all discovered that there is no A-Z solution; it needs to be a coordination approach between humanitarian organisations.
While we were there, I managed to visit 3 ghost towns: Ajdabiya, Al Brega and Ras Lanuf. I call them ghost-towns as there were hardly any citizens walking around, any shops open or civilian vehicles on the streets. We could see the scale of destruction of the buildings, houses, mosques and the empty shells of burned military vehicles.
