We work alongside people with disabilities and vulnerable people to help meet their essential needs, improve their living conditions and promote respect for their dignity and fundamental rights.

For more information about the organisation: http://www.hi.org

HI has offices in more than 55 countries.

MISSION CONTEXT:

Since 2011, continued conflict in many parts of Libya and political instability have resulted in a vacuum of effective governance and caused significant collapse in the country s political-institutional system. Security, rule of law and social and economic well-being of the Libyan population have all been severely affected.

The healthcare system in Libya is one of the hardest hit by the ongoing instability, having deteriorated near to the point of collapse. Ongoing challenges include increased rates of chronic illness, disability and access to essential services such as medicine and rehabilitation. Hospitals struggle to absorb the number of patients and to cope with lack of resources, including a shortage of staff and essential medicines and supplies.

The identification of the most vulnerable individuals and the rapid response to essential needs is a priority for the humanitarian community working throughout Libya. In addition, the number of victims as a result of conventional weapons and improvised explosive devices (IEDs) continues to grow. In contaminated areas, local populations, internally displaced persons and returning populations are all at risk of death and injury.

From operational bases in Tripoli and Misrata, and Benghazi from the last quarter of 2018, HI is currently implementing a humanitarian programme with the following activities:

• Provision of comprehensive rehabilitation services including physical therapy and psychosocial support for persons with disabilities or injuries, and distribution of assistive devices as required
• Capacity building, technical support and donations of assistive devices and/or materials and equipment to health partners (hospitals and rehabilitation centres)
• Training on inclusion principles to other humanitarian actors and health workers
• Provision of Risk Education to conflict affected communities on the risks and effects caused by mines and explosive remnants of war (ERW)

The are movement restrictions in place and isolated living conditions.

Libya s security is fluctuating and prone to violent conflict erupting at any moment, as it is suffering from a lack of a consolidated government since 2011. International staff are based in Misrata and accommodated in a compound composing a shared guest house/office with other expatriates and should expect isolated living conditions with movement restrictions and a curfew in place. Very limited opportunities exist for socializing however a small number of other expatriates from other NGOs are based in Tripoli and Misrata.

Tunisia is a relatively safe country although security incidents over recent years demand the requirement for close follow up of the context and movement restrictions in some areas of the country. International staff in Tunis can expect a good standard of living with access to most amenities, no movement restrictions and a small expatriate social scene. In Tunis international staff are either accommodated in a shared guest house with other expatriates or in single accommodation, depending on contract type.

Humanitarian situation and needs:

After an armed and civil uprising ended Muammar al Gadhafi s regime in late 2011, the authorities have had difficulties to address pressing security issues, reshape the country s public finances, or create a viable framework for post-conflict justice and reconciliation. Thus, since 2014, non-state armed groups have disrupted Libya s political transition. In 2017, continued political instability, ongoing-armed conflict in Libya, particularly internal struggles between local militias, and the collapse of economy, have led to deteriorating living conditions and reduced access to essential services in most of the country. Civilians continue to suffer from unsafe living conditions, with little or no access to health care services, essential medicines, safe drinking water, shelter and education. By today, the whole population is affected by the armed conflict and the lack of a functioning government, and 1.1 million people in Libya will still need humanitarian assistance in 2018. The complex humanitarian crisis is primarily driven by the absence of the rule of law, lack of access to basic services, displacement of population, the collapse of the economic system and the financial crisis.

Humanitarian consequences:

In late 2017, suffering from armed combats for several years, Benghazi area was hosting about 45.000 internally displaced people (IDP) coming from different areas in Libya, and 147.000 returnees. Benghazi appears to be, with Tripoli, one of the two main cities to host the more IDPs. Otherwise, while the political situation in Libya remains tumultuous, new patterns of displacement are occurring, with a growing trend of returns reported in the East, and especially in Benghazi. Benghazi and its surroundings appear to be particularly vulnerable locations due to the high damage inflicted by three years of heavy clashes. The violation of human rights and humanitarian law, including violations of the right to life, and of children and women s rights, are widespread, including of Gender-based Violence. There are alarming levels of gender-based violence and grave violations of child and women s rights in the current context.

In the Southeast of the country, the tensions between the Tebu and the Zway tribes seriously affects the health system and the access to basic services. Tribe communities, when they are a minority in the area, are suffering from segregation in most of Al kufra s institutions, including health care facilities. This occurs in a context of underdevelopment and poverty that exacerbates the impact of the conflict on the population in the region. Indeed, this area has been suffering, even before the conflict, from a poor investment from the central government. However, few information are available on this area and its humanitarian needs due to a poor, if not almost inexistent, presence of NGOs.

Our actions in the Field:

Since May 2016 and the beginning of the exploratory mission, PUI is developing an emergency health and psychosocial response that aims to meet the most urgent needs in health care of the most vulnerable populations in Benghazi area. So far, PUI has been focusing on the health care issue, by providing medical treatments and primary health care to internal displaced populations and their host communities in Benghazi city. PUI is recreating an access to health care, via Mobile Health Teams and psychosocial support intervention. Finally, PUI is working on the reinforcement of the local emergency response capacity through the participation in the development and the implementation of a Health Rapid Response Capacities in Benghazi city, including passive monitoring (EWARS) and deployment of PUI teams for rapid assessments and to support the national emergency response in case of confirmed alert.

Thus, PUI has been implementing three Mobile Health Teams providing primary health care and psychosocial support in Benghazi city and performed rehabilitation and restoration of 1 health care clinic. PUI is now scaling up its intervention with the deployment of a new MHT in Great Benghazi. PUI will also start an exploratory mission (multi sectorial assessment) in Southeast of Libya where only few humanitarian actors are present while serious humanitarian needs remain uncovered. In addition, PUI is starting to intervene in Migrant s Detention Center where Rehabilitation (WASH) and health activities will be implemented. Finally, PUI planned 10 small rehabilitation projects in Benghazi area in 2018.

Humanitarian situation

Libya s political transition has been disrupted by armed non-state groups and threatened by the indecision and infighting of interim leaders. After an armed uprising ended the 40-plus year rule of Muammar al Qadhafi in late 2011, interim authorities proved unable to form a stable government, address pressing security issues, reshape the country s public finances, or create a viable framework for post-conflict justice and reconciliation.

In 2016, continued political instability and ongoing armed conflict in Libya has led to deteriorating living conditions and reduced access to essential services for a significant part of the country. Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) remain one of the most vulnerable population groups as they seek out temporary shelter and scarce livelihood opportunities in urban centres, many without access to basic services. The power vacuum that gave way to the rise of armed groups in Libya, and the ongoing violence has caused thousands more Libyans to flee their homes in search of protection and assistance. In February 2016, while the political situation in Libya remains tumultuous, new patterns of displacement are occurring, with a growing trend of return reported in the East.

Over 435 000 people in Libya have been forcibly displaced, almost doubling the number reported in 2014. Humanitarian organizations face serious difficulties to reach communities and vulnerable IDP families affected by the ongoing violence in the country.

Health and protection needs of the affected population stand out in terms of scope, scale and severity. This is the result of major shortages of essential medicines and a debilitated primary healthcare system, which have led to an increase in serious illnesses and disease. The conflict has restricted access to basic services, led to forced displacement and impacted people s safety and security. The displaced are the most vulnerable due to limited coping capacity and loss of assets, particularly displaced women, children, the elderly and those with low economic means. Refugees, asylum-seekers and migrants are also considered some of the most vulnerable, due to their exposed risk to discrimination and exploitation based on their status. According to OCHA, the most severe needs in terms of geographic areas are those of affected people in the east and south of the country.

The worsening economic situation and political crises have exacerbated the vulnerability of the people in Libya, where the main source of household income remains salaries from the state. In the preliminary findings of the MSNA conducted by UN agencies, 71 per cent of households reported that their incomes have either remained the same or decreased. Given the protracted nature of the current crisis, the primary objective is to improve resilience of affected communities. This entails building capacity at national and local levels to generate the evidence base needed to monitor the impacts of crisis, to plan key interventions as needed to address humanitarian and early recovery priorities, and to support the recovery of local economies and rehabilitation of critical damaged infrastructures and public services.

The Libya Humanitarian Needs Overview (HNO) is based on a number of needs assessments conducted in 2016 and updated in 2018, including the UN inter-agency Multi-Sector Needs Assessment (MSNA), sector needs and gap analysis based on information from ongoing humanitarian operations in Libya and available secondary sources. In areas where conflict and insecurity impeded access to affected people, there are some significant gaps in information in terms of the scale and scope of humanitarian needs. There are also information gaps for some of the sectors, especially where national information collection and reporting systems are weak, such as for protection. (OCHA)

Due to the security context, the majority of the humanitarian intervention in Libya are being managed remotely from Tunis.

Our actions in the Field

In light with the humanitarian situation described above, Premiere Urgence Internationale launched a program in Libya targeting Benghazi area and other cities where gaps in terms of access to quality health care had been identified.

The main objective is the reduction of morbidity and mortality among conflict affected populations in Libya and to improve access to quality healthcare for population affected by the ongoing conflict in Benghazi and its surroundings by the implementation of mobile clinics delivering a range of medical services.

Targeted as a priority for the humanitarian community by the latest HRP designed in October, the health system has completely collapsed in Libya. This project aims at :

• improve access to primary health care through mobile health care clinics, including sexual and reproductive health, mental health and psychosocial support interventions, information and guidance on local services, including referral where necessary,
• support to improve personal health care behaviors for existing displaced populations by reinforcement of community prevention, information and communication
• Improve emergency response to new large scale displacement by supporting the creation and the strengthening of an early warning system to develop coordination and cooperation with local actors and relevant authorities to ensure a timely comprehensive response in case of population displacement.

This program is currently supported by DG ECHO, UNHCR, EU Delegation and CDCS (Centre de Crise et de Soutien du MAE).

Due to the security situation, as most of the intervention, this program should be managed remotely from Tunis with potential visit to Libya depending on security clearance (currently on process). Following the evolution of the context, the remote management could be reduced.
