Libya has agreed a deal with Bulgaria which will see a €4.4 billion euro fund for families of children infected with HIV in Libya.
The deal is likely to defuse a standoff over six medical workers accused of giving children HIV.
"The two sides reached an accord to pay 10 million for each of the 426 HIV infected children and 20 mothers who are also contaminated with HIV," said Driss Lagha, chairman of the Assocation for the Families of the HV infected Children.
Lagha said officials from Libya and Bulgaria reached the agreement on payments for healthcare for the sick children at a meeting in Tripoli today.
