Description:
May 2018 – Since 2014, civilians have been suffering as a result of conflict, political instability and a collapsing economy in Libya. Conflict-affected people are often living in unsafe conditions and high-risk, hostile environments, with little or no access to life-saving health care, essential medicines, food, safe drinking water, shelter and education. There are over 1.1 million people in Libya in need of humanitarian assistance, including 170,000 internally displaced people, 200,000 returnees and 376,000 vulnerable Libyans. In addition, there are an estimated 64,000 refugees and 337,000 migrants in Libya facing significant protection concerns, with their status making them particularly vulnerable to abuse, marginalization and exploitation. Given the current environment, Libya has become a regional nexus point for human smuggling operations and irregular migration to Europe – in 2017, over 2,800 people lost their lives trying to cross the Mediterranean Sea.
With GAC’s support, the Agency for Technical Cooperation and Development (ACTED) is providing emergency cash assistance for up to 4,000 of the most vulnerable conflict-affected people, particularly female headed households, in the Tripoli and surrounding areas of Libya.
