That includes supporting the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East so that it can continue to provide assistance to Palestinian refugees. Tunisia is deeply concerned about the developments in Libya and the serious deterioration of the security situation in its capital, Tripoli. Tunisia renews its commitment to undertaking efforts — at the initiative of President Essebsi, and in full cooperation with our brother countries of Egypt and Algeria — to assist our Libyan brothers in overcoming their differences.
