6 Sudanese Individuals Dead in Accident in Libya

Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

In a distressing incident that unfolded over the past two days, six members of the Sudanese community perished, with several more suffering from burns of varying severity, as they made their way toward Kufra, Libya.

Following orders from the Public Prosecution, a recovery team, composed of members from the Libyan Ambulance and Emergency Service in Kufra and the Illegal Immigration Combat Unit, traveled 240 kilometers into the desert south of Kufra to retrieve four bodies.

Ibrahim Belhassen, Director of the Ambulance and Emergency Service in Kufra, reported to “Al Arabiya” that the accident took place in the expansive desert area between Libya and Sudan. It involved families of Sudanese refugees living in Libya, with approximately 16 individuals, including women and children, traveling in two vehicles. The fatal fire was sparked by a mechanical malfunction in one of the vehicles.

The Libyan Ambulance Service has transferred the injured survivors to Kufra Teaching Hospital for immediate medical treatment. They were later airlifted to hospitals in Benghazi on military aircraft provided by the service for further care.

This tragic event has brought to light the dangers faced by refugees as they seek safer lives and better opportunities, emphasizing the critical need for safe and regulated migration pathways.

Additionally, a separate incident occurred on Saturday near Kufra, where a vehicle carrying a group of Sudanese refugees overturned and caught fire, resulting in the death of one woman and severe injuries to seven others. This incident, approximately 200 kilometers south of Kufra, necessitated the medical evacuation of some victims to Benghazi, further highlighting the risks refugees face on their journey to Libya.
