What is the scale of the Sudanese refugee crisis in Libya, and what immediate humanitarian needs are most pressing?

The Libyan Relief and Humanitarian Aid Authority, in partnership with the World Food Programme (WFP), has launched a food aid distribution program providing essential food items to over 3,300 Sudanese refugee families across several Libyan cities. Distribution points include Benghazi (1,200 families), Ajdabiya (740 families), and Jalu (450 families), with smaller allocations to other locations. This initiative is in response to the arrival of at least 100,000 Sudanese refugees in Libya since April 2023.
