TunisiaLibya: EU provides children with safe educational environment
The EU is working with UNICEF to provide children in Libya with an opportunity to learn and study in a safe environment. Yesterday, the European Delegation to Libya paid a visit to the Baity Center in Suq al-Jumaa, were hundreds of girls and boys can attend class, receive books and other learning materials, and have access to computers. The center also offers a range of online classes so the children can continue learning while staying safe during the coronavirus pandemic.
348,000 children in Libya are in need of humanitarian aid, estimates EU’s partner UNICEF Libya, whether it be food, health care or access to education.
