In a statement to Tabadul, Janzur Councilman Abed Al-Salam Gharsa claimed that the number of displaced families in Janzur between 2011 and 2019 was 8,000 families. In other words, approximately 40,000 inhabitants were added to the city’s population.
He explained that 4964 families were included after May, 4 2019, while 3000 others were added between 2011 and 2019.
“The situation is almost as large as bringing in a whole city population and adding it to the inhabitants of the district, since the population density of municipalities does not exceed 35,000 people,” he said, pointing out that, as a consequence, the situation led to a failure in providing services even to the municipality’s inhabitants.
Gharsa stressed that the Presidential Council has disbursed a budget of 4,900 thousand LYD to the municipality for the displaced families, of which 3 million were spent directly, and 2 million indirectly, through the allocation of 2000 receipts worth 7,500 dinars to 2000 families, as well as the distribution of food parcels.
