Overview
It is estimated that over 240,000 Sudanese refugees have arrived in Libya since April 2023.This includes 42,463 individuals who were registered post-conflict, bringing the total number of Sudanese registered by UNHCR at its registration centre in Tripoli to 62,126.
Authorities in Alkufra reported issuing 140,500 health certificates in 2024 with approximately 198,000 Sudanese arriving through Alkufra alone, averaging 400 to 500 new arrivals per day.
Due to the irregular nature of entry, the ad hoc data shared by authorities, and the vast remote land border with Chad, Egypt, and Sudan, combined with movements towards cities along the coast, it remains challenging to provide an accurate number of Sudanese refugees.
