Migrants from Egypt, Bangladesh and Syria are leaving from Cyrenaica under Marshal Haftar's control.

Meanwhile Europe is concerned about deterring people from reaching its shores, financing the Libyan Coast Guard to intercept those fleeing the country and force them back into detention centres where they are severely abused. On Tuesday afternoon (November 22), MEPs will debate the alarming situation in Libya in plenary for the first time in four years. read more
