Libya's war-torn Benghazi has been under Libyan National Army control for the last three years. But the city still needs to be rebuilt.

So volunteers have taken matters in their own hands.

Last July, they launched a social media campaign calling on people to take part in the rebuilding the city. 

Within just a few weeks, people from sports clubs, universities and civic movements joined in.

They have been cleaning up public gardens, streets and buildings across the city.
