The head of the Parliament’s Internal Affairs Committee, Suleiman Al-Hariri, said that the European Union’s policy towards the migration crisis is mainly responsible for the exacerbation of the humanitarian situation in the country as a result of the interception of migrants at sea and their return to Libya.
Al-Harari explained that Libya is suffering from political and economic crises, and cannot deal with the crisis of migration flows on behalf of Europe, given the poor conditions experienced by the Libyan institutions concerned with the issue of immigration, foremost of which is the Anti-Illegal Immigration Agency, which is affiliated with the migrant shelters.
Al-Hariri added that the concerned agencies in Libya have become unable to provide food and medical assistance to the thousands of irregular migrants who arrive in the country daily and are received by shelters.
