According to the leaders of the UN peacekeeping operation, the coalition now has total air superiority over Libya's coastal region and no longer hast to fear anti-aircraft fire. The United States military is preparing to turn control of the operation over to another ally within the next few days.
Participants in the no-fly zone enforcement efforts include Great Britain, France, the United States, Italy, Denmark, Spain, Qatar, Canada, Norway, and Belgium. France is targetting Gadhaffi's ground forces, including tanks, and the United States military has recommended that the rest of the coalition follow suit.
Amidst the violence, there have been peaceful protests in cities like Ajdabiya, supporting the opposition.
There are reports of food shortages in some cities like Misrata. While the coalition can route Gadhaffi's forces from the air when they are out in the open, the government's forces are digging into the city, readying themselves for street-to-sreet, house-to-house fighting.
