A group of sick Libyan children will arrive at Rome's Ciampino military airport board a defence ministry plane on Tuesday as part of an Italian government initiative to help paediatric patients from the war-torn country, the foreign ministry said in a statement.

Italy's deputy foreign minister Marina Sereni will be at Ciampino to welcome the children, who all suffer from grave hematologic diseases and come from the Benghazi area in eastern Libya, the statement said.

The children will be treated at Vatican's Bambin Gesu paediatric hospital in Rome, which is partnering the Italian government in the initiative, the statement added.

A first group of children from Benghazi with hematologic diseases arrived at Ciampino on 19 September for treatment at the Bambin Gesu hospital under the initiative.

Hematologic diseases include blood cell cancers, rare genetic disorders, anaemia, conditions related to HIV, sickle cell disease, and complications from chemotherapy or transfusions.
