International Organization for Migration (IOM) said nearly 11.000 stranded migrants returned from Libya through its Voluntary Humanitarian Return (VHR) Program, expressing concern over the alarming increase of the detained migrants’ number in Libya’s centers.
IOM added Friday that migrants inside Libya have reached 690.000 as the country continues to be the main crossing point to Europe for migrants.
The statement on Friday also added that the migrants’ arrivals in Europe dropped due to the shutdown of the Mediterranean route and giving the authority in the sea to the Libyan coastguards alone.
