Libya crisis: More than 200 schools in conflict zones closed

The UN-backed government says schools in safer areas are becoming increasingly overcrowded.

The United Nations hopes talks aimed at reaching a ceasefire in Libya will restart.

The talks were suspended this week after forces loyal to renegade military commander Khalifa Haftar shelled a Tripoli port.

With civilians in the firing line, more than 200 schools have shut.

And, as Al Jazeera’s Charles Stratford explains from Tripoli, that means thousands of children are not getting the education they deserve.
