LIBYA

UNHCR has now positioned international staff in , and .

From 20-25 April 2011 UNHCR and UNFPA sent a mission to Tobruk, Darna and Al Beida to assess the protection needs of IDPs, refugees and asylum-seekers. The joint mission visited five different sites where IDPs and refugees from , Berga, Ras Lanuf and Adjabia have been hosted. Most of them were hosted in schools, at Tobruk University, with local families and in a local hotel. During the mission, the UNHCR-UNFPA team was escorted by one member of the Transitional Local Council, who welcomed the UN presence in Tobruk. The assessment team also met with local NGOs and their local implementing partner, the Libya Red Crescent. The mission reported that there are no economic, academic or educational activities in the city of Tobruk. Schools and universities are closed or accommodate IDPs. The majority of IDPs in and around Tobruk have been accommodated in host families, which makes it difficult for the Relief Committee to determine the number of people displaced. According to the Relief Committee, 1050 families are currently hosted in Tobruk. Basic needs for those hosted at Tobruk University and in schools are only partially available and UNHCR delivered blankets and kitchen sets.

On 25 April, a UNHCR chartered airplane arrived in Benghazi carrying relief assistance from UNHCR’s emergency stockpile in Dubai. This was the first UN humanitarian flight to Benghazi. The consignment includes 21 hospital tents, kitchen sets as well as plastic sheets for shelter. The tents will be donated to various charities, organizations and NGOs in Benghazi. Other aid items will be distributed through local partners. The airlift also brought cars and equipment for UNHCR to support the opening of an office in Benghazi together with other UN agencies.

In addition, UNHCR has shipped 11,520 sleeping mats, 2,500 jerry cans, 651 kitchen sets, 2,500 plastic sheets, 16,200 blankets and 2,110 tents from Egypt into Libya.

The largest groups now include 1,351 Somalis and 966 Eritreans, all persons of concern to UNHCR, and 881 Sudanese as well as 818 Chadians.

In the south of Tunisia 25,799 Libyans have crossed into the country. Most of them unofficially crossed through the mountain area and then asked for an entry stamp at the Tunisian side of the Dehiba border point. As the rebel forces now control the Libyan side of Dehiba border point, civilian vehicles can enter via the official route. On 27 April, long lies of vehicles were noticed at Dehiba border point, mostly arriving from those villages in the western mountain areas, which are under control of rebel forces.

A joint UN mission in Tatouine met with local authorities and NGOs to discuss food and non-food packages for Libyan refugees in the area.

ALGERIA

An increased flow of Libyans crossing the Algerian border is reported by the Algerian Red Crescent. The influx may have been triggered by the slowly approaching fighting with the border gate of Dehiba, which have been recently taken over by the rebel forces.

UNHCR is currently discussing with the Algerian Red Crescent the provision of humanitarian assistance to third country nationals in the reception centres of Tinalkoum and Djanet. In Tinalkoum, there are currently 19 Mauritanians, while in Djanet there are 11 Mauritanians, 2 Egyptians and 44 Malians.

Resource Mobilization UNHCR revised its Supplementary Budget for the Libya Situation, which now has a total need of USD 68,674,087. So far, UNHCR has received contributions in the amount of USD 41,334,392; hence it is 60 % funded. UNHCR continues to appeal to donors for urgent cash contributions towards the UNHCR supplementary budget. Without additional contributions, a critical shortfall of funding for UNHCR’s operations in Libya and neighbouring countries is likely to affect vital humanitarian assistance for tens of thousands of people displaced by the recent fighting in the western highlights.

The Regional Inter-Agency Flash Appeal for the Libyan Crisis was revised on 1 April, requesting a total of USD 310.8 million for March-June. Currently the appeal is 41% funded. A revision for the Appeal is foreseen shortly.
