Libya: Undocumented Migrants
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, if her Department will support the urgent humanitarian evacuation out of Libya of refugees and migrants held in detention centres in that country.
- Answer
-
We are deeply concerned by reports of violence in Libyan detention centres, and are calling on all parties to allow civilians, including refugees and migrants, to be evacuated to safety. We continue to closely monitor the humanitarian situation in Libya, including conditions in detention centres.
The UK Government is clear that all parties to the conflict must do all that they can to prevent any further loss of life, including by respecting their obligations under International Humanitarian Law and engaging with the UN and humanitarian community to get aid to those in need and for the wounded and those at risk to be safely evacuated.
