The Emergency and Ambulance Service in Kufra announced the death of a Libyan and two Sudanese individuals due to a car accident on the first day of Eid.
In a post on their Facebook page, the service reported receiving a call about a car accident on the ring road near the water plant, dispatching four ambulances to the scene.
The accident resulted in the deaths of three individuals: two Sudanese nationals and one Libyan.
The US Agency for International Development (USAID) Office of Humanitarian Assistance has reported a significant increase in the number of refugees from Sudan fleeing to Libya.
According to their recent update, there has been a 73% rise in Sudanese refugees arriving in Libya compared to the previous year.
USAID has taken proactive steps to assist these refugees. The Agency highlighted its ongoing efforts to provide necessary support.
The agency has been collaborating closely with various partners to assess the immediate food needs of these vulnerable groups.
In coordination with the US State Department’s Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration (PRM), USAID is working to ensure that the most at-risk populations receive the aid they require. This coordinated effort aims to address the urgent needs of refugees who have been forced to flee their homes due to conflict and instability in Sudan.
The increase in refugee numbers underscores the growing humanitarian crisis and the need for sustained international support.
Libya, already grappling with its own internal challenges, is now faced with the additional burden of supporting a significant influx of refugees. The collaborative efforts between USAID, PRM, and other humanitarian partners are crucial in providing the necessary relief and support to these displaced individuals.
