Libya’s Health Ministry of the Parliament-designate government has provided healthcare support to approximately 1,400 migrants who had been detained for over two years.
The ministry has also ensured that they are accommodated at a suitable location within the Tamanhint military base.
This initiative is part of the ongoing efforts led by the Libyan government, under the directives of the General Command of the Libyan National Army.
According to a ministry statement, initial medical assessments revealed that many of the migrants were in critical health conditions due to prolonged detention.
Cases of severe dehydration, malnutrition, and skin diseases such as scabies were recorded. The Ministry of Health, in coordination with specialised medical teams, is actively providing necessary healthcare to these individuals.
The Ministry reaffirmed its commitment to supporting national and humanitarian efforts aimed at improving the conditions of migrants and all those in need within Libya. It reiterated its dedication to offering comprehensive healthcare to everyone in need, in line with humanitarian values and the nation’s responsibilities towards all individuals.
