The German site Reliefweb reported today, Sunday, that Libya has experienced widespread conflict, civil unrest, and economic and political instability since 2011. While the humanitarian situation in the country has improved since the ceasefire agreement in October 2020, Libyans continue to suffer from the impacts of economic instability.
According to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), migrant groups, including asylum seekers, refugees, other non-Libyan residents in or transiting through Libya, and internally displaced persons, remain among the most vulnerable populations.
The site highlighted that the influx of migrants has placed additional strain on the already limited local infrastructure and resources, leading to shortages of food, water, and medical services. This has exacerbated humanitarian needs for both migrants and members of the Libyan community.
The report continued by noting that migrant children, especially Sudanese children, lack access to adequate nutrition, healthcare, and proper sanitation, increasing their risk of disease and malnutrition.
