In Libya, 150,000 civilians have been displaced due to armed conflict in Tripoli.

According to United Nations High Commissioner of Refugees, over 3,000 refugees and immigrants are being held in detention centers in Libya despite international calls for closing those centers.

According to reports, Libya is a preferred point of departure for illegal immigrants wanting to cross the Mediterranean Sea to Europe due to insecurity and chaos in the country since the 2011 uprising.
