According to a statement issued on the official page of the Presidential Council, President of GNA Presidential Council Fayez Serraj announced the launch of the humanitarian response plan 2020 in Libya, confirming the government’s contribution of 10 million dollars.

This came during a meeting held on Sunday in Tripoli, attended by the Deputy Special Representative of the Secretary-General, UN Resident Coordinator and Humanitarian Coordinator for Libya, Mr. Yacoub El-Hillo, along with a number of ministers and representatives for the international organizations and for the civil society.

It is highly important to mention that the Italian deputy ambassador, representing the European countries supporting the plan, attended the meeting as well.

Serraj claimed that the meeting comes at a difficult stage, as the war continues in Tripoli, and the number of “victims of aggression” and emigrants keeps on increasing, which requires more cooperative work.

Hence, this joint work seeks to reinforce the capacities, respond to the emergency needs of the victims, provide the citizens with the basic services all over Libya, and also discuss the necessity of providing the main needs of the south regions.
