I. HIGHLIGHTS/KEY PRIORITIES
• Humanitarian actors are first and foremost worried about populations living in areas directly affected by conflict. Over 5,000 metric tons of medical supplies, food, shelter and non-food items have been delivered into Libya, the vast majority through the port at Misrata.
• The impact of sanctions continues to limit supplies of fuel, and access to cash, and the means to replenish stocks of essential commodities.
• In the Nafusa Mountains region in the west, at least 40,000 Libyans have now crossed into Tunisia using both informal routes and the border crossing of Wazin/Dhibat.
• The United Nations Humanitarian Coordinator for Libya is in contact with the Libyan authorities, discussing the soonest possible return of the UN humanitarian presence to Tripoli.
