Libya: migrants held in terrible conditions, ICRC reports
Overcrowded centers with no sanitation, scabies in Al-Hambra
(ANSAmed) – Libya is holding thousands of migrants in deplorable conditions without adequate sanitation, the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) reported Tuesday. The temporary closure of many holding centers in the southern part of the country have led to severe overcrowding in western Libya’s Al-Hamra detention center, which has become a hub for migrants arriving from Mali, Niger, Eritrea and Somalia.
Scabies have broken out there due to poor hygienic conditions and overcrowding, the ICRC reported.
