Libya
Since 2011 Libya has been experiencing
instability with about 803,000 people in
need of humanitarian assistance. At the
end of 2021, there were 200,000 internally
displaced in the country. Returning to the
place of origin continues to be hampered
by instability, damage to the public
infrastructure and lack of basic services.
The country hosts about 621,000 migrants
of whom more than 42,000 are asking for
asylum as refugees as of December 2021.
Even if the overall number of people that require
humanitarian aid decreased in 2021, thanks to an
improved safety situation with respect to the year
before, it is still a very high number in relationship to
the overall population.
In this context, the bad state of basic infrastructures, such
as healthcare facilities and the impact of the pandemic, continue to represent an enormous
challenge both for the local population as well as for the migrants and asylum seekers. The
803,000 people in need of humanitarian aid do not have constant access to primary or secondary
healthcare assistance. Almost 90% of the primary healthcare assistance centers are closed,
while a third of all the healthcare structures in the South and East of Libya do not function. In the
South 73% are partially functional and in the East
47% are partially functional.
Thanks to the collaboration with other organizations and institutions, we promote emergency
interventions and stabilization in Fezzan. In particular, we work to improve access to basic
healthcare services, supporting first and second level healthcare structures in peripheral areas
of Ghat and Ubari District
