UN reports surge in Sudanese refugees arriving in Libya, warns of looming funding crisis
UN reports surge in Sudanese refugees arriving in Libya, warns of looming funding crisis The United Nations has reported a sharp increase in the number of Sudanese refugees entering Libya, warning of a worsening humanitarian crisis amid a critical funding shortage. According to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), nearly 313,000 Sudanese refugees have arrived in Libya since the outbreak of conflict in Sudan — a rise of 256,000 compared to the previous month. In a report issued on Friday, the UNHCR projected that by the end of 2025, the number of Sudanese refugees in need could reach 621,000. This would mark a 40% increase — or 446,000 additional people — compared to figures from November 2024, based on estimates from the 2025 Refugee Response Plan. The World Food Programme (WFP) has also raised the alarm, appealing for $13.5 million in urgent funding to continue providing vital food assistance to Sudanese refugees inside Libya. In a statement, the WFP warned that without immediate financial support, it will be forced to suspend aid to thousands of vulnerable people. 'We will not be able to maintain support to the targeted refugee population unless additional funding is secured,' the agency said. Tags: Sudanees refugees
