Over 100 migrants, primarily from Sudan and Chad, were transferred today from Benghazi to Kufra ahead of repatriation, according to Libya’s Directorate for Combatting Illegal Migration (DCIM).
109 migrants, 62 of whom are from Sudan and 47 from Chad, will leave the Ganfouda Shelter and Deportation Center in Benghazi, and get transferred to the Kufra Shelter and Deportation Center, said the DCIM Benghazi branch in a statement via its Facebook page.
The migrants, some of whom suffer from contagious diseases such as Hepatitis C, were “caught through daily campaigns carried out by the branch within its jurisdiction,” the DCIM branch said.
