I visited the most devastated areas: Al Bayda and Derna, the epicenter of the catastrophe. Libya, a nation already battered by conflict, now has to cope with the aftermath of a catastrophe on a scale unprecedented in its history. In addition, many children are being affected by the lack of essential services such as healthcare, schooling, and water supplies. UNICEF has also deployed mobile protection and psychosocial support teams to help children and their caregivers navigate through these harrowing experiences. Our protection team has been particularly active, reaching hundreds of children with psychosocial support and recreational activities.
