HALF A MILLION CIVILIANS HAVE FLED THE CONFLICT IN LIBYA. YOUR URGENT HELP IS NEEDED TO ASSIST THEM AND PEOPLE TRAPPED INSIDE LIBYA

As the conflict in Libya continues, over half a million people have now fled the rapidly spreading violence. On the Egyptian border, the number of Libyans crossing daily has nearly doubled compared to past weeks. Poor Libyan families of Berber origin have also started to seek refuge in southern Tunisia. These latest arrivals are in dire need of assistance.

Your much needed donation through UNHCR will help provide emergency relief items like tents and blankets for people who have been left with no choice but to flee Libya.

We are also seeking help to bring humanitarian assistance to those trapped inside Libya as the number of people displaced within the country is on the rise.

You can make a difference.
