The World Council of Churches, Conference of European Churches and the Churches' Commission for Migrants in Europe have expressed concern over the humanitarian situation in Libya.
In a joint statement the three expressed appreciation for the various governments and aid agencies providing assistance to people fleeing the conflict in Libya, but added that the response needs to be broadened “to provide aid and protection to refugees, migrant workers and other people at risk, and to enhance efforts to find peaceful and just solutions to the crisis in Libya.”
The church groups said the specific needs to be addressed immediately involve protection and assistance for those who cannot return to their homes, and keeping borders open so people can flee from conflict areas.
