A total of 84 Libyan families have traveled to Rome where their children will be sent to various Italian hospitals for treatment. Another group of families will leave for Italy next week within the Libyan government's programme for treating the children that have supposedly been infected by five Bulgarian nurses and a Palestinian doctor, who now stand trial. Another 80 families have left for France within the past three weeks where their kids will also be treated. The EU hadn't helped in funding all this, the chairman of the Association of HIV-infected Libya children said. It was all the local government's work, and Libya had granted EUR 15 M to help the treatment. In the meantime the retrial against Bulgaria's nurses that have once been sentenced to death is slowly advancing with prosecutors demanding the death sentence again amid international outcries for the release of the five women.
