Khoja stressed the seriousness of IS movements and exploitation of the desert "as a safe passage to finance its operations and attract new members from the southern border of Libya, where it is difficult to monitor due to the vast geographical nature and rugged desert."
Khalid Farjani, a primary school teacher, believes that the biggest challenge, along with the risk of IS return, is rebuilding government institutions, especially destroyed schools, health centers and homes.
"The school semester began more than a month ago, and more than half of the city's schools are destroyed or not equipped for students, in addition to the destruction of almost every neighborhood or street in Sirte," Farjani told Xinhua.
"We have been promised reconstruction and provision of basic services in the city, such as drinking water, electricity and sanitation. Today, more than half of the city's residents are displaced because their houses are destroyed, especially in the Giza neighborhood, which is almost completely destroyed," Farjani said.
"Sirte suffers from an environmental disaster, where hundreds of IS bodies are under the rubble. They were not recovered despite ongoing appeals," Farjani added.
Spokesman for the Municipal Council of Sirte, Mohamed El-Eimel, confirmed that the services and homes in Sirte are almost completely destroyed because of the fighting that took place in the city.
"Unfortunately, more than 2,000 homes have been completely destroyed. Thousands of other houses have been damaged by the war. Also, educational and health facilities have been destroyed," Eimel said.
