The House of Representatives (HoR) called on the parallel government to intensify its urgent efforts to provide relief to those affected in Al-Asabaa town due to the fires that broke out in people's houses.

The HoR called on the Hammad government to provide all necessary capabilities to protect people and harness all possible means to reduce the impact of this disaster, stressing that dealing with such disasters "is the responsibility of the legitimate Libyan government."

The HoR also called on the National Oil Corporation, the National Planning Council, consulting firms, and relevant authorities to stand by the competent authorities and provide technical support to help uncover the causes of the fires and identify the parties responsible for them, which ensures that preventive measures are taken to hinder their recurrence in the future.

The HoR expressed its regret for the failure to take the required measures with the necessary speed and efficiency by the parties that were primarily concerned with following up on such incidents and responding to them, stressing the need to review the mechanisms for dealing with crises and ensuring that the priority is always to protect the lives and properties of people.

The HoR stressed that the responsibility of providing relief to those affected and dealing with such incidents cannot tolerate delay or compromise, but rather requires effective national action that reflects the state’s commitment to its citizens without any leniency.
