UNHCR chief Filippo Grandi says Italy has promised to resume evacuations of the most vulnerable migrants and refugees from Libya. We’ll continue to work with his government to respond to humanitarian crises and improve the reception and integration of refugees in Italy. In this context, I have also been assured that the famous humanitarian corridors will resume, not just from Libya but also from other countries." Italy and UNHCR are watching the situation in Libya and remain "concerned or vigilant about future developments," Grandi went on to say. "It is important also to use this phase to improve in Libya the management of migration flows – a matter of primary importance for Italy as well as for UNHCR," Grandi stressed.
