The UN's aid chief has warned against blurring the lines between military operations and relief work in Libya.
Valerie Amos said there was no need yet to accept an EU offer of military escorts to protect aid deliveries.
Meanwhile, Oscar-nominated Tim Hetherington was one of two Western photojournalists killed in a mortar attack in the besieged city of Misrata.
Libya's rebels have rejected a ceasefire offer from the government of Libyan leader Col Muammar Gaddafi.
Inspired by uprisings in neighbouring Tunisia and Egypt, they have been fighting Col Gaddafi's forces since February.
Based in Benghazi, the rebels hold much of the east, while Col Gaddafi's forces remain in control of Tripoli and most of the west.
