The Joint Security Emergency Room in southeastern Libya launched an electronic system to register displaced Sudanese.
The Joint Room urged all displaced persons to head to the system’s headquarters at the Illegal Immigration Combat Agency in Kufra, starting from Sunday, to fill out and authenticate the required forms, submitting them to the relevant committee for issuing registration cards. The aim is to facilitate their movement within the country smoothly.
On April 28th, the Security Media Office of the Interior Ministry announced the formation of a joint security emergency room in the southeastern region.
Last week, the Libyan government dispatched a shipment containing all booster vaccinations to the city of Kufra, located in the south of the country.
“The campaign will cover all citizens and Sudanese refugees alike, for age groups from one day old up to 15 years old,” the statement said.
The Libyan government indicated that vaccines will be administered by medical teams in the city, in coordination with the National Center for Disease Control (NCDC), supported by the Kufra Health Services team.
This campaign follows the implementation of a plan set by Health Minister Dr. Othman Abdul Jalil, following his recent visit to Kufra.
The government estimated that approximately 40,000 Sudanese have been displaced due to the war to the Libyan city of Kufra, adjacent to the borders of both countries.
Abdul Jalil stated, “We estimated the number of Sudanese who have fled to Kufra to be around 40,000 individuals.”
“It is difficult to know the exact number of these displaced people due to continued waves of migration from Sudan, and the actual number requires field census teams,” he added.
“We have assigned medical teams to conduct examinations and tests for the displaced to diagnose their condition and provide them with healthcare. We will offer treatment and medical supplies to all patients, especially those suffering from critical or infectious diseases,” he continued.
“We welcome our Sudanese brothers to their second home, Libya,” he concluded.
