30 Chadian nationals (all men) were collectively expelled to Libya and arrived in the town of Ounianga-Kébir on 22 august 2023. The vast majority of expelled are originally from Oum-Hadjar and Abéché. Additionally, these individuals reported having spent 1 to 2 years in Libyan prisons in Benghazi and then 3 months in Koufra before being expelled.

 These expelled individuals have not received any assistance apart from the IOM bags (containing clothes) during their expulsion to Chad. In fact, they are living in a dire condition, and do not have any support to continue their trip towards their communities of origin. As such, they reported urgent needs for transport assistance to their localities of origin, food after going several days without eating, as well as non-food items.
