Pulbished on:
Geneva, 15 may 2016(Lana) The International Migration Organisation
has said that the number of displaced people in Libya has reached
417123, as a result of three waves of displacement since 2011, the
worse was in mid 2014.
In a report published on Saturday, the organisation said there were
234699 foreigners among the displaced who faced discrimination and
exploitation.
The report quoted a special monitor it operated in the country
which specialized in displaced movement patterns and asylum seekers
in Libya as as saying nearly 35 per cent of the displaced lived in
private homes, while the rest lived in makeshift homes or in markets,
transport stations or unfinished housing building. 4 per cent live in
detention camps, where men made 89 per cent of them, the report said.
It noted that 47 per cent of all displaced people in Libya came
from Benghazi, many also came from Sirte and Tripoli. Large numbers
of residents of Sirte have fled the city recently to cities such as
Bani Walid and Tarhouna as a result of the ongoing fighting in their
city which destroyed their property, it added.
