The Anti-Illegal Immigration Agency of Tobruk Branch announced the deportation of seven Egyptian immigrants to their country through the Amsaad-Al-Salloum crossing border. The agency indicated that the deported immigrants were detained in the Bab Al-Zaytoun shelter center, and that six of them were infected with the hepatitis C virus.
In another context, the death of 61 people, who drowned in a shipwreck off the coast of Libyan shores during the night between 14 and 15 December, is “the direct result of Europe’s migration policies”, said Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF).
The NGO, also known as Doctors Without Borders, said in a statement that the incident was a “completely preventable tragedy and once again shows the consequences of Europe’s murderous policies of non-assistance and disgraceful outsourcing of border management”.
