“Critical assistance such as medical aid, hygiene kits, kitchen sets, solar lamps and cash assistance has been provided to more than 4,800 Sudanese refugees so far this year,” the UNHCR said in a statement on Friday. According to the report of Xinhua news agency, this offer was made to 80 unaccompanied children of Sudan.

"As more refugees arrive, UNHCR and its partners are stepping up efforts to assist those in need," the statement said.

It confirmed that more than 40,000 Sudanese refugees are now registered with UNHCR in Libya.

A large number of displaced Sudanese are seeking safety and assistance in Libya following the start of the civil war in their country in mid-April 2023.
