Italian Foreign Minister Franco Frattini has called on Nato to suspend hostilities in Libya to allow humanitarian aid to be brought to the war-torn country.
Mr Frattini said Nato should provide data on results of its bombing campaign and guidelines on targeting errors.
Arab League Chairman Amr Moussa made a similar call on Tuesday, voicing reservations about the Nato campaign.
On Sunday a Nato missile apparently misfired striking a residential area.
The Libyan government said nine people including two young children were killed in the strike.
The alliance acknowledged that civilian casualties may have resulted from it.
Speaking to the lower house of the Italian parliament, Mr Frattini called for “an immediate humanitarian suspension of hostilities” to allow an aid corridor to be set up.
“With regard to Nato, it is fair to ask for increasingly detailed information on results as well as precise guidelines on the dramatic errors involving civilians,” he added.
On Monday Mr Frattini said Nato’s credibility was “at risk” after the residential area strike.
