World Food Programme Fighting Hunger Worldwide

Nearly 41,500 Libyan refugees are currently hosted in Tunisia, mainly in the country’s poorest regions, where unemployment and poverty are above the national average. They mainly came from Tripoli or from the western regions, fleeing insecurity and lack of income. This rapid assessment was carried out from 14 to 20 June 2011 to take stock of their food security situation identify the potential needs for assistance.
