Nearly 150 refugees and asylum seekers have been flown from the Libyan capital, Tripoli, to the Italian capital, Rome, by the UN's refugee agency, the UN says.

Those taken are from Eritrea, Ethiopia, Sudan and Somalia and many of them need medical attention and are suffering from malnourishment.

Among those relocated are 65 children, 13 of them below a year in age. One of the children was born just two months ago.
