Intense fighting coupled with the desert heat and the Muslim holy month of Ramadan seems to be taking a toll on Libya's opposition fighters. Commander Fawzi BoKatif acknowledged to AP news agency that his forces were facing ver "very exhausting conditions". He said:
"A lot of the rebels have tried to fast, but we have tried to convince most of them to eat and break their fast because of the intensive fighting and the heat and high temperature since it's a semi-desert like area, even if the food supplies are available and continuously under their grasp, but because of the severe conditions so we convince them to eat and not fast."
The freedom fighters must have food, this is an exceptional circumstance. Their health is not only theirs but for the victory of this conflict and free Libya and belong to the whole Libyan people
