The UN relief agency said millions of people across Libya were suffering amid the fallout from a protracted political crisis, outbreaks of violence and displacement. the Humanitarian Coordinator for Libya, Maria Ribeiro, said: “The difficulties people in Libya face in providing for their basic needs are real and we all need to be aware of the human cost of inaction. The 2018 humanitarian response plan, the third coordinated appeal in Libya, is being launched on behalf of the humanitarian community in partnership with the Libyan authorities. It would help to implement 71 projects by 22 organisations, including UN agencies as well as national and international non-governmental organisations. The funds would also help to strengthen families’ capacities to cope with the continued pressures of instability, fragmentation and economic decline.
