In 2024, approximately 725,000 migrants were present on Libyan soil, according to the International Organization for Migration (IOM). While some come seeking work, others attempt to reach Europe by crossing the Mediterranean. In Libya, migrants and refugees live in precarious conditions and are subjected to various forms of violence and abuse, both inside and outside the country's detention centers. Kidnapped, subjected to extortion and trafficking, assaulted or sexually abused, their access to healthcare is severely hindered despite their desperate need for it.
