Libya — Migrant Report 31 (May- June 2020)

This report presents the findings of DTM Round 31 (May-June 2020) data collection, in which at least 600,362 migrants of over 46 nationalities were identified in Libya. Migrants’ presence was recorded in all 100 Libyan municipalities and in 568 communities (muhallas). The number of migrants identified to be present in Libya decreased by four per cent between Rounds 30 and 31, from 625,638 (March-April) to 600,362 individuals (MayJune). This sustained decline in the number of migrants in Libya is likely the result of a combination of factors, amongst which are the increasing unemployment rate, reduction in available labour opportunities for migrant workers, tightened security controls and mobility restrictions due to the current COVID-19 pandemic.
