International leaders have held an emergency meeting in London to discuss the future of Libya.

The meeting was attended by representatives from 35 countries, including seven Arab states, as well as heads of the United Nations and the North Atlantic treaty Organisation.

British Prime Minister David Cameron called for a concerted international effort to support the Libyan people in their fight against Muammar Gaddafi.

US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton says air strikes against Gaddafi’s forces will continue until the embattled leader calls for a ceasefire.
