HIGHLIGHTS
Several rounds of UN-led talks since January resulted in a proposed agreement to create a unity government, which was rejected by the House of Representatives in eastern Libya and later by the General National Congress government in western Libya.
A total of 4,467 individuals have been assisted since the re-opening of the three community centres in February. Protection assistance provided by UNHCR and its partners includes financial support, registration, documentation and renewal of attestations, legal and medical assistance, and psychosocial counselling. UNHCR suspended all new registration activities in May 2014. However,
UNHCR has recently resumed small scale renewal of attestations and has reached 20 families (116 individuals).Through its partner CESVI, UNHCR provided a total of USD 98,384 in monthly or emergency onetime cash assistance to 745 vulnerable refugees in 2015. Some 6,869 people held in detention facilities received medical assistance and 2,615 detainees received essential relief items.
Humanitarian assistance is hampered due to the volatile situation, which impedes access to many areas of the country and reduces communication and monitoring. UNHCR relies on remote management from Tunisia.
