The Benghazi Rehabilitation Center, run by the Social Solidarity Fund, is one of the two main referral centers for rehabilitation in Libya. It operates a hospital, an orthopedic workshop, physical rehabilitation center, psychosocial support and vocational training services for people with disabilities. Renovation of the center started in 2000 following an agreement between Libya, Italy and the UN Development Programme (UNDP) and was reportedly completed in 2005. The renovation aimed to provide better services to people disabled by mines from World War II. Italy provided approximately $7 million, which was used to train 36 technicians and equip the 120-bed rehabilitation hospital at the center.[48] In 2005-2006, the center’s organizational development and start-up was supported by the Italian Directorate for Development Cooperation. It will have a Libyan and an Italian coordinator, and 168 medical and 26 social staff.

After nearly two years of negotiations, Oasis agreed to pay Libya $1.8 billion for a return to its acreage in the Sirte region. The acreage had been held in trust for 19 years as a result of U.S. sanctions against Libya. Oasis’ deal with Libya runs for 25 years, with NOC holding a 59.2 percent share, ConocoPhillips and Marathon at 16.33 percent each, and Amerada Hess holding an 8.16 percent share.
