Pinoys sa Libya hinikayat ng DFA umuwi sa bansa

NASUGATAN sa ka­nang paa ang isang Pinoy worker na nagtatrabaho sa isang oil at gas com­pany nang sumabog ang isang mortar sa paligid ng kanilang compound ma­la­pit sa Tripoli Inter­national Airport kaha­pon.

“Our kababayan is lucky he only sustained a shrapnel wound in his right foot. His Sudanese coworker was not — he was killed in the explosion,” pahayag  ni Charge d’Affaires Elmer Cato sa kanyang opisyal na Facebook account.

Nitong nakaraang ilang linggo, isang Pinoy ang nasugatan dahil sa rocket attack na mahigit 200 Filipino ang nagta­trabaho sa naturang lugar.

“What happened to our kababayan in Qasr bin Ghashir earlier in the morning underscores the danger that all of us face here in Tripoli as a result of the ongoing fighting just outside its gates,” ayon kay Cato.

Hindi rin ligtas ang isang ospital sa Qasr bin Ghashir na 18 Pinoy nurses ang nagtatra­baho.

Ayon kay Cato, naka­tanggap ng report ang Embahada na anim na Pinoy ang nasa Ain Zara, na ang ibang compound ay kinubkob ng armadong kalalakihan.

Pinakiusapan ng gobyerno ng Filipinas na tulungan silang hikayatin ang kanilang mga kawani na umalis at magtungo sa ligtas na lugar.

Sa kabila nang paulit-ulit na apela ng gobyerno ng Filipinas sa mga Pinoy sa Libya na lisanin na ang naturang bansa para sa kanilang kaligtasan bunsod nang nangya­yaring kaguluhan, ayaw pa rin nilang umuwi dahil pagbalik umano nila sa bansa ay wala silang trabaho.

Patuloy  na hinihika­yat ng Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) ang mga Pinoy sa Libya para sa  boluntaryong evacua­tion at nanawagan sa mga kaanak na hikayating umuwi sa Filipinas.

“Some of us may not be lucky the next time rockets or mortars rain in on Tripoli. Before the fighting intensifies further and before it gets closer to where many of our kababayan are in Tripoli, we plead to them and to their families in the Philippines to please seriously consider our offer to bring them home while we still can,”  dagdag ni Cato.
