Home remains elusive for Libya's internally displaced
Over 40,000 Libyans from the city of Tawergha were forcedly displaced during fighting in 2011 with rival factions in nearby Misrata. Since then, its residents have been scattered into makeshift encampments, trying to scrape by – and though a nascent peace deal might hold the key to their return, for now the future is still uncertain.
