Since the start of January, 34 people have been killed, most of them soldiers, and 23 wounded, hospital medics said.

The fighting is part of a wider struggle in the oil producer where two governments and parliaments, allied to armed groups, are vying for control almost four year after the ousting of long-time ruler Muammar Gaddafi.
