The Jufra Security Directorate announced on Monday that it was suspending traffic and movement to neighboring cities in central Libya due to poor weather conditions, lack of visibility, and strong winds causing sand and dust storms.

The Directorate said on its Facebook page that movement would be suspended “for security reasons and due to bad weather conditions, including poor visibility and strong winds, starting this evening, Monday, and ending in the early hours of Wednesday morning, until weather conditions improve and the situation returns to normal.”
