Libya Streets (formerly Tripoli Streets) is a Libyan platform where people share what is happening on the streets of their cities, moment by moment. The platform started in Tripoli, and today it covers cities across Libya — from Benghazi, Misrata and Sabha to Kufra and beyond — and it keeps expanding. What you will find on the map: • Electricity: where it is back and where it is out • Fuel: where petrol and diesel are available • Cash: where banks have money • Roads: closures, congestion and accidents • Water, waste collection and fixed service locations How it works: Every report comes from a user who is there. Other users vote on it, so accurate reports get verified and inaccurate ones disappear. Every report also has an expiry, after which it clears automatically, so old information never misleads anyone. Browsing is free and needs no account. Reporting and voting require a phone number login — your number is never shown to any user and never shared with anyone. Alerts for your area Choose the areas you care about and get notified when a new report appears there. The platform is completely free, with no ads and no subscriptions. By the people, for the people.
