LIBYA-MIGRATION-SOCIAL-AID-POVERTY-CONFLICT

Migrants who were detained by Libyan authorities on a boat off the coast are held ahead of their deportation at a detention centre in Surman, about 67 kilometres west of Tripoli, on May 12, 2022 - Human Rights Watch said on August 1 that some 32,450 people had been intercepted by Libyan forces in 2021 and "hauled back to arbitrary detention and abuse" in the war-ravaged country as European countries turned a blind eye. HRW accused the EU's border agency Frontex of using a drone to provide information that "facilitates interceptions and returns to Libya ... (despite) overwhelming evidence of torture and exploitation of migrants and refugees". (Photo by Mahmud Turkia / AFP) (Photo by MAHMUD TURKIA/AFP via Getty Images)
