HIGHLIGHTS

  • Humanitarian responders are delivering critical aid to all provinces in Libya.

  • Returnee figures are rising, with IDPs continuing to require urgent assistance.

  • The top priority needs for Libya remain health care and essential medicines, support to detention centres, migrants, and IDPs.

  • Food supplies are at risk, with WFP forced to scale back operations due to lack of funding.

Assistance reaches all provinces of Libya

As the conflict in Libya continues to take its toll on the population and economic hardships increase, the humanitarian community has distributed assistance to every province in Libya, including critical food supplies, medicines and healthcare, non-food items, protection and education services.

The response to the displacement from Sirte remains a top priority, with thousands of people still dispersed due to the ongoing military operations to retake the city from Islamic State. As more people return to their homes, concerns grow over the risks they face from explosive remnants of war (ERW) and unstable buildings damaged in the fighting.

Ensuring a steady supply of essential medicines is the most critical activity for humanitarian responders across Libya, as hospitals run out of stocks to treat illness and injury.
