UNICEF stated that 439.000 children needed urgent humanitarian aid in Libya last year.

In their annual report on the humanitarian situation in Libya in 2017, UNICEF said that continued conflict, insecurity, the collapsed economy and periodic escalation of armed conflict have exacerbated humanitarian needs, especially to vulnerable groups such as children.

In the report, UNICEF estimated the number of migrants in Libya to be 400.000, of whom more than 33,000 children were at high risk of human rights violations.

UNICEF confirmed that they provided psychological support to 30.000 children in schools throughout Libya, as well as specialized services for children survivors of violence related to gender discrimination.
