Libya: Thousands of displaced people provided with food and essential hygiene items in 2016

In 2016, the ICRC and the Libyan Red Crescent continued to help those most in need in Libya.

We distributed aid in the form of food and essential household items such as mattresses, blankets, kitchen sets, jerry cans, buckets, diapers and hygiene kits. Our teams provided medical supplies to hospitals and health-care facilities, and supported patients with physical disabilities.
