The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) also confirmed that up to now, in Libya there are 56,643 refugees waiting to apply for refugee status.
Libya has become a departure point for illegal migrants hoping to cross the Mediterranean Sea to Europe due to the insecurity and chaos in the North African country. Tent camps in Libya are becoming overcrowded as they house thousands of illegal migrants rescued at sea or arrested by Libyan security forces.
