I. HIGHLIGHTS
- On 24 May, unrest at Choucha Camp left four dead, nineteen injured and parts of the camp destroyed. The situation in the camp has now eased. The humanitarian community and the Tunisian Government are discussing the security, the position and the composition of the camps in Tunisia.
- An estimated 602,783 people, mostly migrants, have left Libya and have not returned since the start of the crisis in February. This number is based on data that 85 per cent of Libyans crossing into Egypt, and 67 per cent of Libyans crossing into Tunisia, return back to Libya.
- Fighting in the Nafusa Mountains is on going. Fuel and cash shortages continue to affect the daily life of the Libyans.
- Explosive remnants of war (ERW) and landmines pose a serious risk to people in conflict-affected areas across Libya. Mine risk education as well as mapping for ERW are of utmost importance
- The US$407 million revised Flash Appeal for the Libyan Crisis is currently funded at 45.6 per cent with US$185 million committed and $3.6 million in pledges.
