The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), in conjunction with the World Food Program (WFP), announced the initiation of a project to provide food assistance to approximately 10,000 refugees and asylum seekers in Libya.
The UNHCR said that the move comes as a result of reports that many refugees and asylum seekers within the country are unable to find employment to support themselves since the enforced curfew began in Libya.
It has also remarked that food prices and the cost of basic commodities have increased in the country by approximately 24%, adding to the suffering of this highly vulnerable group.
