Key takeaway The rise in arrivals since July 2023 is attributed to the on-going conflict in Sudan.
Why this matters
The humanitarian needs of Sudanese nationals in Libya highlight the complexities of displacement in the region. With nearly a quarter of Eastern Libya's Sudanese population residing in Benghazi and Ejdabia, the diverging needs between these two municipalities underscore the importance of localized responses. The rise in arrivals since July 2023, attributed to the ongoing conflict in Sudan, suggests that the situation will continue to evolve. The lack of documentation, flagged as a barrier to accessing basic services, is a critical issue that must be addressed to ensure that Sudanese nationals can access essential services such as healthcare and education. The prioritization of accommodation and non-food items (NFIs) overall indicates a need for immediate relief efforts, while the varying needs in Benghazi and Ejdabia require tailored approaches to effectively support the migrant population. As the situation continues to unfold, it is crucial to monitor the humanitarian response and adapt to the changing needs of Sudanese nationals in Libya.
