Medical sources in Benghazi on Saturday confirmed the fatality of the overnight shelling, which hit a play ground as well as a school and other civilian areas.
Khalil Gwaider, a spokesman for the Benghazi medical center, said five people were seriously wounded in the incident.
Benghazi has been the scene of almost daily shelling, with the civilians getting trapped in some neighborhoods of the city being killed.
The Human Rights Watch has urged the warring sides to allow civilians, including foreign nationals, out of the fighting zones.
The United Nations (UN) has issued repeated warnings about the targeting of residential areas in Libyan cities, warning that such attacks may amount to war crimes.
“The artillery shelling of residential neighborhoods in the cities… are also a tragic reminder of the heavy toll borne by the Libyan people in this conflict,” the UN mission to Libya, UNSMIL, said two weeks ago, after eight children were killed in Benghazi.
Libya plunged into chaos following the 2011 uprising against the dictatorship of Muammar Gaddafi, whose ouster gave rise to a patchwork of heavily-armed militia groups and deep political divisions.
