Over 800,000 people in Libya are in need of humanitarian assistance, including 135,000 in the southern region, announced the U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs in a recently published report.
The report also indicates that the estimated number of internally displaced people decreased from nearly 200,000 in September 2021 to 179,000 at the end of November of the same year.
The Humanitarian Office said most internally displaced people in Benghazi have faced protracted displacement since 2017, revealing that the number of displaced people in the southern region, especially those hosted by Murzuq, has dropped by more than 50 percent.
In the report, the U.N. Office stressed that it did not have sufficient data on the situation in the south of the country due to the security situation.
