Tripoli: USAID announced providing $5 million in humanitarian assistance to support refugees in Libya affected by the ongoing conflict and humanitarian crisis in Sudan.
The USAID said that it provided this assistance in cooperation with UNICEF and the UN World Food Program (WFP), adding that this assistance will help meet the urgent needs of Sudanese families who have been forced to flee their homes to Libya.
The support for UNICEF will help provide thousands of children under five years of age with vital nutrition support, including malnutrition screening and treatment for severe and moderate acute malnutrition.
The USAID commended Libya for continuing to host refugees from Sudan, urging other donors to join them in stepping up to support people affected by this crisis, both within Sudan and throughout the region.
