NATO may have to step up attacks against Government forces out of the military in Libya stalemate, while the United Nations grows a humanitarian presence assist civilians caught in the trap in the conflict.

The two approaches to a mandate of the Security Council of the United Nations to protect civilians against attacks by the troops of President Muammar Gaddafi's Libyan, will focus on the city of Misrata West, Western only Libyan always in the hands city rebels.

It is believed that hundreds of people have been killed during the siege of seven weeks of the port city, where thousands of foreign migrant workers are blocked. A rebel spokesman said at least 31 people were killed in Misrata Sunday and Monday by snipers and shells from Government.

Two months after the Jamahiriya rebellion broke out seriously, inspired by the uprisings against the autocratic leaders elsewhere in the Arab world, the insurgents control only in the East of the country of their fief of Benghazi and part of Misrata.

NATO bombing damaged armor of Gaddafi, but not enough to break the deadlock and the alliance has perhaps no choice but to use naval gunfire or helicopter, said analysts - latter vulnerable to fire on the ground by the troops of Gaddafi.

"There is more risk with helicopters, because they are easier to break down, and this is a serious problem if you have victims or persons captured,", said Daniel Keohane of the Institute of the European Union to the security of the think tank studies.

GIFT BOX

The United States, the French and British leaders, said last week that they would not stop military action until Gaddafi smoking.

"They have boxed themselves describing the victory that Gaddafi leaving," said Keohane. "I do not think that there is no way they can go now." It is a political imperative to exercise. ?

While NATO has sought a more effective way to attack forces of Gaddafi despite limited resources, A humanitarian leader Valerie Amos said Monday in Benghazi it was extremely concerned about the fate of civilians in Misrata.

"I strongly hope that the security situation will allow to enter the Misrata", she said. "Person makes no sense of depth and breadth of what is happening it.."

Before the rebellion, Misrata has a population of 300,000.

The European Union presented a draft plan Monday sending European troops to Misrata to protect shipments assistance if requested by the Organization of the United Nations, said the EU officials.

Secretary General of the Nations United Ban Ki-moon, in Budapest, said Qaddafi Government has agreed to a humanitarian presence in the capital of Tripoli. Spokesman Farhan Haq said this included an agreement on the entry of international humanitarian personnel and equipment through the Tunisian border.

Details were scarce, and so far Libya has not agreed on a ceasefire to allow providers to help to work.

Earlier, NATO leaders had excluded sending troops on the ground in Libya, but head of the foreign policy of the EU, Catherine Ashton said "the 27 (EU members) have now unanimously adopted the concept of operations" - Monday if the United Nations has requested.

Any mission of the European Union could involve hundreds of military personnel, security of transport of supplies directly to the Libya, especially Misrata and helping to provide food and shelter to the Tunisian and Egyptian border refugee camps.

EU troops would not have a combat role, except to protect the humanitarian mission, but analysts say the arrival of the first Western troops since the Libyan crisis erupted would be significant.

A Chartered ship evacuated about 1,000 foreign workers injured Libyan Misrata on Monday, the evacuation of the second ship in the last days. Rebel, said that they had gained ground in the fighting in the region of Tripoli Street despite the bombing of the Government.

"It is clear that Gaddafi wants to erase Misrata." Inaction by NATO helps him realize this project. "Are they waiting for a massacre to arrive to realize that they need to change tactics?"rebel spokesman abdelsalam told Reuters by telephone.
