FTS News Bits: The United Nations has called for a temporary humanitarian truce between Libya's warring parties to allow emergency services to reach the wounded and help civilians to move out of the conflict zones. Earlier an airstrike forced the closure of the country's only functioning airport. At least 25 people have been killed so far, with 80 wounded as a result of fighting in the south of capital Tripoli. 2,800 people have been displaced with many more expected to flee.
