| The Italian embassy in Tripoli has been closed and its staff evacuated due to the raging military conflict in Libya. It comes as the Italian coast guard took part in a massive rescue mission of over 2,000 migrants fleeing from the Libyan coast. “The deteriorating situation in Libya made it necessary to close [the embassy],” Foreign Minister Paolo Gentiloni said on Sunday. The Foreign Ministry added that the embassy staff of about 100 were being transferred back to Italy by ship. - Quote :
