Libya crisis: What's life like for residents in Tripoli?

Heavy fighting and airstrikes continue in the Libyan capital Tripoli. Eastern commander, General Khalifa Haftar, launched an offensive to try to seize the city from the UN-recognized government of Prime Minister Fayez al-Sarraj three weeks ago. More than 200 people have been killed since fighting began and the situation remains volatile for people living in the city. Newsday's Christophe Farah spoke to a resident.
