Working environment
Five years after the revolution, Libya remains politically divided and affected by heavy fighting across the country. The country is experiencing rising levels of insecurity and criminality, which creates an enabling environment for people smugglers to operate. Libya remains the main transit and departure point from North Africa towards Europe for migrants and refugees travelling as part of sixed movements.Despite limited humanitarian access, UNHCR maintains a presence in Libya and has resumed targeted registration and cash-based interventions. UNHCR, through its partners, also carries out monitoring at detention facilities run by Libyan authorities and at disembarkation points used following rescue at sea and interception incidents.
In 2017, UNHCR will continue to assist the some 38,000 asylum-seekers registered with UNHCR - mainly from Eritrea, the State of Palestine, and the Syrian Arab Republic, out of an estimated 100,000 refugees and asylum seekers in the country. In addition, UNHCR will support the provision of protection and assistance to the most vulnerable of the more than 313,000 internally displaced people and 463,000 displaced Libyans who return to their area of origin.
Key priorities
In 2017 UNHCR’s operation will focus on:• preventing refoulement;
• improving access to territory and asylum;
• providing humanitarian assistance and access to durable solutions, such as resettlement, to the most vulnerable people;
• advocating refugee protection and access to basic services; and
• enhancing coordination with other humanitarian stakeholders.
A funding shortfall in 2017 for the UNHCR operation in Libya would limit UNHCR’s capacity to register asylum-seekers and to conduct monitoring visits to detention centres. It could also result in the suspension of the distribution of core relief items and cash grants, which are currently provided to the most vulnerable.
