    According to #UNHCR spokesperson Matthew Saltmarsh (InfoMigrants), "The floods caused a mass displacement, adding to the number of people who were already displaced before Storm Daniel hit the country. However, estimates of flood-induced population displacement are not available yet."
    Before the disaster, 46,000 Internally Displaced Persons (#IDPs) lived in the devastated eastern part of the country, where more than 1,000 Refugees are registered with the UNHCR.

    However:
    "UNHCR is aware that a larger number of forcibly displaced people that are not registered with UNHCR live in the areas hit by the storm and flooding", says UNHCR

    30% of the estimated 705,746 Migrants hosted by Libya live in the eastern part.

    Libya has been serving as border extension for #Europe's with its #Racist and #Imperial #Migration policies:
    #ConcentrationsCamps, #Frontex, #ExtrajudicialKillings, illegal #OrganHarvesting, #HumanTrafficking, Rape, #Torture, Extortion, Exploitation, #Racism and other kinds of heinous #CrimesAgainstHumanity "
