The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) on Tuesday said it started distribution of winter items to displaced Libyan families and returnees in Tawergha, some 240 km east of the capital Tripoli.
“UNHCR and partner LIBAID (Libyan Humanitarian Relief Agency) are carrying out a five-day distribution of winter items targeting displaced Tawerghan families and returnees,” the UNHCR said in a statement.
The distributions target more than 1,470 returned Libyan families, living separately at two Tawerghan settlements, the statement said.
The items include mattresses, blankets, plastic tarpaulins, winter clothing, footwear, kitchen sets, solar lamps, school bags and electric heaters, it added.
