The Guardian newspaper has said that military supplies are continuing to flow into Libya ignoring a "poorly" UN embargo.

The newspaper revealed in its report published Wednesday, that the United Arab Emirates, which is backing Khalifa Haftar, is thought to have sent more than 100 deliveries by air since mid-January; after the truce was announced, according to flight-tracking data.

The suspected UAE flights departed from military bases in the UAE, or from a base run since 2016 by the UAE in Eritrea, according to the Guardian.

"In all, the flights are thought to have carried about 5,000 metric tons of cargo into Libya in very large chartered transport planes that land at an airport close to Benghazi, or in western Egypt, from where their loads are thought to be trucked into Libya," the newspaper explained.

The Guardian indicated that the shipments are likely to be of heavy artillery in addition to other arms and ammunition, as well as shelling from long-range artillery.
