The Libyan Parliament-designate 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.

This was stated in a speech by the Libyan Minister of Health, Othman Abdul-Jalil, on Monday, during his visit to Sudanese displaced persons in the city of Kufra in southern Libya.

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.

Meanwhile, civil activist and migration researcher Asmaa Al-Qayid estimated the number of displaced persons to Kufra at 50,000 Sudanese. She noted that other numbers of migrants have begun to head to the oases and villages in the south, which were not included in this census.

Al-Qayid, in statements to “Al-Araby Al-Jadeed” website, clarified that the oases of Rabyanah, Al-Sarir, and Umm Al-Arbanah in the south have received many Sudanese displaced persons. Additionally, the presence of Sudanese displaced persons in Ajdabiya has become evident, alongside the absence of these displaced individuals from medical examination, posing a risk as they may be accompanied by infectious diseases.

Al-Qayid stressed that saving the lives of these displaced persons is a humanitarian duty, and efforts are also being made to prevent the country from a health and epidemic crisis that could erupt at any moment.

She also pointed out the absence of the International Organization for Migration (IOM) from the crisis of Sudanese displaced persons to Libya.
