For this International Migrants Day, France 24 and InfoMigrants take stock throughout the day on the situation of migrants on the roads of Europe.
Migrants, victims of Libyan chaos
This year, nearly 660,000 migrants are still in Libya, including 4,500 in closed detention camps, according to UN figures. "Living conditions there are deplorable: overcrowding, lack of water, lack of food, lack of hygiene", explains Anne-Diandra Louarn, journalist at InfoMigrants. After CNN's revelations about human trafficking in 2018, the UNHCR set up a migrant evacuation program to relocate them in host countries, in Africa, in Europe or more rarely in Canada. However, the migrants still there are victims of the assault launched by General Haftar four months ago on Tripoli.
