UNICEF said Sunday that over 100 unaccompanied and separated children are among 1000 inhabitants of an overcrowded detention center in Janzour after the relocation of migrants following clashes in the capital, Tripoli. UNICEF said on Facebook that with a maximum capacity of 550, the detention center is overwhelmed. A joint UN mission went to assess needs and will work to provide emergency supplies such as food, water, diapers and improving the water and sanitation facilities." Doctors without Borders (MSF) has remarked thousands of refugees, migrants, and asylum seekers arbitrarily held in Libyan detention centers must immediately be released and evacuated to safety out of the country. "Several detention centers in Tripoli are on frontlines and thousands of desperate people are still trapped inside," said Ibrahim Younis, MSF's Head of mission for Libya.
