Our Ambassador to Libya regularly raises humanitarian issues at the highest levels of the Libyan government. I travelled to Tripoli in April and highlighted our concern with Prime Minister Serraj and the Ministers of Interior and Foreign Affairs. Since October 2015, the Department for International Development has allocated over £175 million of humanitarian assistance to support those affected by the Mediterranean migration crisis, including in Libya.
