Hundreds of thousands of refugees have passed through Shousha camp on the Tunisian-Libyan border since the start of the Libyan conflict in February 2011. Some 4,000 people, mainly sub-Saharan Africans, cannot be repatriated due to the situation in their countries of origin. They face an uncertain future. |

Since early March, MSF has been running a mental health program for people who have fled the conflict in Libya, performing over 9,000 mental health consultations. Many people have had traumatic experiences, either witnessing or directly experiencing violence in the course of their escape from Libya. In addition, thousands of sub-Saharan African refugees are survivors of persecution and ill-treatment that took place in Libya prior to the conflict. |
