OVERVIEW

This report presents the findings of round 34 of the Mobility Tracking component of IOM Libya’s Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) programme, covering November and December 2020. During the reporting period, the security situation remained stable as the ceasefire continued to hold, resulting in an increasing number of previously displaced families returning to their places of origin in Western Libya.

The number of returnees identified during this round of data collection increased from 567,802 returnees identified in round 33 to 604,965 returnees in round 34 (+37,163 individuals). Correspondingly, the number of internally displaced persons (IDPs) identified in Libya decreased from 316,415 individuals reported in round 33 to 278,177 IDPs by the end of December 2020.

Most of the new returnees were recorded in the Tripoli region. More specifically, the number of returnees in different municipalities in and around the capital increased by more than 33,000 individuals to a total of 147,225 returnees. The municipalities of Abusliem and Ain Zara accounted for most new returnees observed since the last round (89% of all new returnees identified in this round of data collection).

Fig 1 Libya displacement and return timeline

However, substantial challenges related to the limited provision of essential services, such as intermittent electricity and water supply, remain an issue in the areas of return. This reduction in service provision has been exacerbated by additional infrastructural damage as a result of recent conflict. In November, two pumps of the Great Man-Made River were destroyed1 near Brak al-Shati, bringing the total of wells that have been affected by attacks over the last two years to 151 which has negatively impacted water supply and security in Tripoli and north-western Libya.

Additionally, war damage to houses and property are challenges to IDP return. In a rapid assessment conducted with spontaneously returned families during the previous round in South Tripoli (Qasr Ben Gashir), only one fifth (19%) of interviewed families reported no damage to their housing, while the majority (58%) reported minor to moderate damage and 23% indicated that their houses had been severely damaged by the armed conflict.

Furthermore, the presence of unexploded ordnances continues to pose a substantial risk, both to returning IDPs as well as non-displaced population in South Tripoli.

During the November - December data collection period, the number of IDPs in Tripoli region continued to decrease and more than 18,000 individuals (3,600 families) previously displaced in urban locations in Tripoli returned to their places of origin and habitual residence.

The same trend was observed in other locations in Libya hosting IDPs as the return of previously displaced populations to Tripoli and other areas in Western Libya continued during the reporting period. Since July 2020, more than 148,000 individuals returned to their communities of origin.

However, despite these returns, the Tripoli region still hosts the largest displaced population in Libya with over 53,000 Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) present in its various municipalities. The municipalities of Tajoura, Suq Aljuma, and Hai Alandalus together host 83 percent of the IDPs in the Tripoli region.

In this context, damage to public infrastructure and housing remain an obstacle for some of the families still displaced from Southern Tripoli.

While an uptick in economic activity in South Tripoli was reported by field observers, the current economic situation in Libya amidst the COVID-19 pandemic poses severe challenges for returnees trying to rebuild their livelihoods. Although the economic slowdown affects Libyans across the country to varying degrees, those returning to their communities, which suffered extensive damage during the war, often find themselves in a particularly challenging situation. The World Bank predicts a 41% GDP drop in 2020 in Libya1.

Adding to these challenges, unexploded ordnances in neighborhoods such as Ain Zara continue to be reported

and pose a risk to returnees.

DTM’s Round 34 Mobility Tracking data collection also gathered information on the reasons of displacement, which helps to better understand why those who remain displaced initially had to leave their homes.

Overall, displacement in Libya has been primarily linked to security related issues, such as the hostilities in Western Libya in 2019-2020. For 91% of assessed IDPs, insecurity and its associated factors was identified as the primary driver that led IDPs to leave their community of origin at the time of displacement. Another 5% reportedly left due to the deterioration of the local economic situation, while 4% identified lack of access to basic services as the primary driver of displacement.

In 60% of communities currently hosting IDPs, respondents indicated that the presence of relatives or social and cultural bonds was one of the reasons for IDPs to seek safety in this specific location of displacement.

IDP AND RETURNEE REPORT

NOVEMBER - DECEMBER 2020

MULTI-SECTORAL LOCATION ASSESSMENT

HUMANITARIAN PRIORITY NEEDS

DTM Libya’s Mobility Tracking includes a Multi-Sectoral Location Assessment (MSLA) covering all regions (mantika) and municipalities (baladiya) of Libya. The MSLA key informant interviews regularly collect sectoral baseline data on availability and access to services and priority humanitarian needs. The regular and continuous implementation of the MSLA is aimed at supporting both strategic and operational planning of humanitarian programming via identification of specific sectoral issues and needs at community-levels.

This round 34 report presents the multisectoral priority needs of IDPs and returnees during the months of November

- December 2020. The following sections also cover key findings related to education, food, health, non-food items (NFI) and access to markets, protection (security and Mine Action), water sources (WASH), and other public services, across Libya.

The most urgent priority needs for IDPs identified during November - December 2020 data collection were accommodation, food assistance, health services and non- food items (NFIs) as shown in figure 6.

For returnees, key priority needs were found to be food assistance, followed by access to health services, non-food items (NFI), and support in the provision of water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) services, as shown in figure7.

Similar to the previous rounds, the main challenges faced by affected populations in fulfilling these needs were related to the erosion of coping mechanisms due to the protracted nature of the crisis, and now also increasingly due to the negative socio-economic impact of COVID-19. Access to health services was reportedly constrained due to irregular supply of medicines, while more than one third of the private and public health facilities were reported to be only partially operational.

The chart shows ranked priority needs of affected population groups based on the top three needs reported at community (muhalla) levels.

HUMANITARIAN PRIORITY NEEDS BY REGION

The top three ranked humanitarian needs for the regions (mantika) with the largest IDP and returnee populations are shown below. The ranking is based on the weighted average score calculated for the highest number of people with humanitarian needs. This indicates regional variation in the humanitarian needs of IDPs and returnees identified by key informants.

For IDPs in Tripoli region the top three humanitarian needs were related to shelter assistance, access to health services (particularly critical in the context of COVID-19), and provision of food assistance.

Fig 8 Priority humanitarian needs of IDPs (ranked) for top three regions (mantika) with highest IDP populations.

Fig 9 Priority humanitarian needs of returnees (ranked) for top three regions (mantika) with highest returnee populations.

For returnees in the Benghazi region the top three needs were related to early recovery to improve their living conditions and included improved access to water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) services, access to Education, and non-food items (NFI).

The needs of IDPs and returnees in other top regions by highest populations can be seen in figures 8 and 9 below.

HEALTH

As part of the Multi-Sectoral Location Assessment (MSLA), 60% of the health facilities in Libya were reported to be operational, while 34% were reported to be partially operational, and 6% were reported to be not operational at all. Please refer to figure 10 for more detailed statistics on reported operational, partially operational, and non-operational private and public health facilities.

In terms of functionality of health facilities, the range of services available in operational health facilities was often reported to be limited due to various factors, such as shortages of medicines for chronic diseases as reported in all the municipalities in Libya.

Fig 10 Availability of health services in the assessed municipalities

Especially for life saving clinical management of critical COVID-19 patients only hospitals with fully functional intensive or critical care units may be considered to provide adequate levels of care and service. The combination of armed conflict in various parts of Libya over the past years, chronic underinvestment in health infrastructure, and the dependence on private health service providers has drastically reduced the capacity of the health sector in Libya to deal with the COVID-19 emergency.

SECURITY AND MINE ACTION

During Round 34, security-related indicators were collected in all municipalities across Libya, including questions specifically related to mine action (Mine Action Area of Responsibility). The objective was to understand the challenges faced by residents in moving safely within their municipalities, the reasons preventing safe movement, and awareness of the presence of unexploded ordnances (UXOs).

Visible presence of UXOs was reported in 11 municipalities. Residents were reported as not being able to move safely within their area of residence in 9 municipalities. In municipalities where movement was restricted, the main reasons were insecurity (5 municipalities), presence or threat of unexploded ordinance (4 municipalities), and road closures (2 municipalities).

EDUCATION

As part of DTM’s multi-sectoral location assessment (MSLA) data collection, key informants in 100 municipalities of Libya reported that 8% of public and 14% of private schools were not operational due to damaged buildings and infrastructure as a result of armed conflict. In this round of data collection, 48 schools were reported to be fully destroyed due to armed conflict. See figures 15 and 16 for further details.

FOOD

In all 100 municipalities, local markets, such as grocery stores, supermarkets, and open markets, were reported to be the main source used by residents to procure food items, including IDPs and returnees. However, in one third of the municipalities food distributions by charity and aid organizations were also identified as key source of food supply for vulnerable populations as shown in the figure below.

Fig 17 Sources of food supplies for residents by number of municipalities (multiple choice)

Number of municipalities

The modes of payment utilized for purchasing food were reported to be payments in cash, followed by ATM cards and purchases made on credit (see figure 18 on the right).

The biggest obstacle related to adequate food supply to meet household needs was reported to be food prices, often considered to be too expensive by key informants compared to the purchasing power of affected populations.

NFI AND ACCESS TO MARKETS

DTM’s data collection on humanitarian priority needs also included non- food items (NFIs). The most commonly cited obstacle to accessing NFIs was that items were too expensive for those in need of assistance. Furthermore, in 19 municipalities a challenge in accessing non-food items was also reported to be poor quality of items available on local markets, while distance from local markets was indicated as key challenge in 25 municipalities.

The most commonly reported NFI to be needed by IDPs and Returnees were hygiene items, followed by fuel and then mattresses.

ACCOMMODATION

In November and December 2020, 70% of all IDPs identified in Libya were reported to be residing in privately rented accommodation, while 17% were staying with host families without paying rent, and 4% were taking shelter in other settings.

87% of individuals who returned to their areas of origin were reported to be back in their own homes. The remaining returnees were in rented accommodation (7%), with host families (5%) or utilizing other accommodation arrangements (1%).

WATER SANITATION AND HYGIENE (WASH)

In terms of utilized water sources, in 68 municipalities the use of water trucking was reported as primary means to meet the needs of residents, including DPs, returnees, host community and migrants. Furthermore, in 56 municipalities open wells (boreholes) were reportedly frequently utilized while the public water network only constituted one of the main water sources in 48 municipalities. The entire distribution of the main water sources reported can be seen in figure 25.

Fig 25 Main sources of water in use by the number of municipalities (multiple choice)

Analysis of water source availability by municipality shows that in 29 municipalities only one source of water was available while in 20 municipalities two water sources were available, in 40 municipalities three water sources, in 9 municipalities 4 water sources and in one municipality 5 water sources were available and utilized.

Figure 26 below shows that in 12 of the 29 municipalities (41%) that depended on one source of water, open wells were the most common source of water, followed by 31% (9 municipalities) reporting dependence on water trucking as the only source of water utilized.

As the availability and utility of water sources increases the diversity of the types of water sources utilized also increases. However, as shown in figure 25 the reliance on water trucking – reported by 68 municipalities – as a source of

water for household use is very common in Libya. Use of water bottles was reported the most amongst municipalities reporting availability of three water sources for household use. Both water trucking and use of water bottles are resource intensive and indicate a dependence on alternative sources of water in the absence of reliable municipal water networks.

IDP AND RETURNEE REPORT

NOVEMBER - DECEMBER 2020

The most frequently cited obstacle related to access to water of residents, IDPs and returnees was the price, reported as being too expensive for those in need in 58% of surveyed municipalities. This issue was observed primarily in communities dependent on resource intensive water trucking and use of bottled water. Furthermore, In 23 municipalities the water available was reported not to be safe for drinking or cooking.

IOM Data collection in numbers

100%coverage

The data in this report is collected through DTM’s Mobility Tracking module. Mobility Tracking gathers data through key informants at both the municipality and community level on a bi-monthly data collection cycle and includes a Multi-Sectoral Location Assessment (MSLA) component that gathers multisectoral baseline data. A comprehensive methodological note on DTM’s Mobility Tracking component is available on the DTM Libya website.

In Round 34, DTM assessed all 100 municipalities in Libya. 2,124 key informant interviews (KIIs) were conducted during this round. 659 KIIs were carried out at the municipality level and 1,465 at the community level. 31% KIIs were with the representatives from various divisions within the municipality offices (Social Affairs, Muhalla Affairs etc.), 15% were local crisis committee representatives, and 12% were from key

civil society organizations. 5% KIIs were with female key informants, whereas 95% were male key informants.

55% of data collected was rated as “very credible” during the Round 34, while 30% was rated “mostly credible”, and 13% was “somewhat credible”. This rating is based on the consistency of data provided by the Key Informants, on their sources of data, and on whether data provided is in line with general perceptions.
