Libya continues to experience conflict and political instability, which has impacted millions of people across the country and displaced thousands. The conflict has had a devastating impact on healthcare, with regular attacks against health facilities, medical personnel and ambulances. In many areas in the south of Libya, access to and quality of basic services, including lifesaving healthcare, is severely constrained. Women and girls in particular face unmet health needs.There has been an alarming increase in maternal mortality due to lack of human and financial resources and supplies, insecurity and lack of access. Migrants and refugees continue to face a multitude of protection risks, including unlawful killings, torture, arbitrary detention, rape and other forms of sexual and gender-based violence, forced labour, extortion and exploitation. UNFPA has a strong presence in the gender-based violence sub-cluster and the sexual and reproductive health working group in Libya and is working jointly with UN Women and the World Food Programme on operationalizing the humanitarian-development-peace nexus in the south of the country.
