    , if assistance levels continue to deteriorate in key transit countries, we should not be surprised if people continue to go to Libya to try to cross the Mediterranean Sea. Asylum systems must be strengthened in transit States, as promised in Valetta

    In Libya, at the start of a trip along the routes of refugees+migrants. Some crossed the sea. Some died. Some are trapped. UNHCR, & partners are here. We believe the situation can be managed, given the right resources, approaches & international support.
