The one NATO ‘fixed’
Nearly half of the population of Libya has been affected by
violence and needs protection and some form of humanitarian aid, the United
Nations says.
"Armed conflict and political instability has impacted
over 3 million people across Libya," the Office for the Coordination of
Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said in a report published on Thursday.
In a country of 6.3 million, "2.44 million people are
in need of protection and some form of humanitarian assistance", it said. Since
last summer, some 435,000 people have been forced to flee their homes, of whom
100,000 now live in outdoor camps or abandoned buildings such as schools and
warehouses, the report said. An estimated 250,000 refugees, asylum-seekers and
migrants in Libya are facing significant protection concerns, with their status
making them particularly vulnerable to abuse, marginalisation and
exploitation," it added.
Remember the promises? Regime change would bring peace, stability
and prosperity to the Libyan people. And now they plan to bring the same to
Syria.
