A Libyan NGO dedicated to supporting irregular migrants and providing humanitarian aid has reported a successful rescue operation by Libyan Special Naval Forces.

The forces intervened to save a migrant boat in distress approximately 100 kilometres off the coast of Al-Tamimi, west of Tobruk.

According to the foundation, the boat carried 50 migrants from Pakistan and Bangladesh and one from Sudan. Following the rescue, all migrants were transferred to the Anti-Illegal Migration Centre in Tobruk, where they are reported to be in stable condition.

UN data from mid-2024 indicates that there are approximately 761,322 migrants from 44 different countries currently in Libya, underscoring the ongoing scale of migration challenges faced by the nation.

Earlier, the European Union’s Ambassador to Libya, Nicolas Orlando, announced that voluntary returns of migrants from Libya to their home countries have surged by over 80% annually, marking significant progress in managing migration to the EU.

Orlando highlighted a “productive meeting” in Tripoli with Major General Mohamed Al-Marhani, head of the technical committee tasked with developing a national strategy on irregular migration and border security. Writing on social media platform X, Orlando noted discussions focused on expanding a “human rights-based partnership.” Key shared goals include enhancing Libya’s border management, combating human trafficking, and increasing voluntary return rates.
