THE Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) on Monday, April 8, raised Alert Level 3 anew for Filipino workers in Tripoli and nearby areas in Libya, urging them and their dependents to get repatriated as soon as possible in view of the escalation of factional fighting in that country.

"In view of the current situation in #Tripoli, the #Philippines Embassy reiterates its call for Filipinos working and living in the capital and nearby areas to consider getting themselves and their dependents repatriated as soon as possible," the Philippine Embassy in Libya said in a tweet Monday.
