7,000 Sudanese Refugee Families Supported in Eastern Libya

Libya’s Relief and Humanitarian Aid Authority is currently supporting over 7,000 Sudanese families in the eastern region of the country, providing essential aid to a total of 35,000 individuals, according to the agency’s chairman, Salem Bouzidah.

Speaking to Alwasat TV on Tuesday, Bouzidah noted that “there are around 2,400 Sudanese families in Benghazi alone, in addition to others in Tripoli, Kufra, and various other locations across Libya.” He added that the authority operates through 13 branches nationwide to serve displaced communities.

Bouzidah explained that most Sudanese migrants enter Libya via the southeastern city of Kufra. The authority registers their arrival using identification cards issued upon entry, ensuring systematic assistance and tracking of aid distribution.

The influx of Sudanese refugees into Libya has surged since conflict erupted in Sudan in April 2023. According to the UNHCR, the number of Sudanese refugees in Libya reached an estimated 313,000 by the end of April 2025 — an increase of 256,000 in just one month.

The World Food Programme (WFP) issued an urgent appeal in late May, requesting $13.5 million in emergency funding to maintain food assistance operations for Sudanese refugees in Libya. The agency warned that without additional financial support, it would be unable to continue delivering aid to its target populations.

Libya has become a key destination for Sudanese fleeing violence, particularly given its geographical proximity. However, the rapid rise in refugee numbers is placing significant pressure on local resources and humanitarian organisations, prompting calls for greater international support.
