Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetLibya l Humanitarian Response Plan 2019
FAO in the 2019 humanitarian appeals
2019Also available in:
No results found.Conflict, political instability and insecurity have fuelled the protracted crisis in Libya, impacting individuals and families as well as the country’s economy and institutions. Resulting waves of displacement have further affected households’ ability to withstand additional shocks, while diminished purchasing power and disrupted markets have made resilience and recovery increasingly difficult. Increased engagement in agriculture can play a vital role in supporting resilience, allowing households to better adapt to future shocks. In 2019, FAO requires USD 3 million to assist 298 000 people. -
Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetLibya | Revised humanitarian response (June–December 2020)
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)
2020Also available in:
No results found.The ongoing civil war has led to a dire humanitarian situation and the destruction of the country’s healthcare capacity and other basic infrastructure. The effects of COVID-19-related restrictions have further exacerbated the situation and increased the vulnerability of numerous households. After the first cases were detected in March 2020, both Governments took steps to control its spread including further border closures, import restrictions and restrictions on the movement of food supplies, as well as the closure of schools, markets and some businesses. Many areas in the country are reporting availability problems for basic food items. In addition, access to food-related commodities such as cooking gas is currently limited and costly. This is due to high inflation, exchange rate fluctuations and liquidity problems. The Import of goods into Libya has also been affected as a result of restrictions imposed by exporting countries, causing a reduction in food supply in Libya. These issues, coupled with an increase in unemployment, are reducing the capacity of households to meet their basic food needs. Numerous Libyans who were considered food secure before the pandemic are now facing food shortages. Migrants, internally displaced persons (IDPs) and refugees are among the most-affected population groups, mainly because their employment sources and opportunities have been severely reduced due to the COVID-19 containment measures. Rural Libyan farmers in the southern region of the country as well as in Benghazi have also been heavily affected. In the framework of the Global Humanitarian Response Plan for COVID-19, FAO has revised its humanitarian response for 2020 to mitigate the effects of the pandemic and address the needs of the most vulnerable households. -

The South Sudan 2020 Humanitarian Response Plan highlights calls for those in urgent need of assistance to be reached before their circumstances deteriorate further, threatening the situation particularly in areas likely to receive returnees, where access is difficult, or where harvests are predicted to be poor.
