The migrants' boat

Libya's cells is now in its fullest with migrants trying to leave the country for passage across the Mediterranean Sea.

European Union ministers, On May 18,  in response to large scale emergencies, decided to launch an air and sea mission in Libya to destroy the human traffickers' boats that transport people across the Mediterranean to Europe.

Libyan Coastguard rescued 700 migrants last week from five rafts with unsafe standards. These migrants have been detained in the Alguaiha detention centre, that currently holds 400 men, women, and children, many of whom are from Eritrea, Somalia and Niger.

Al-Zawiyha detention centre, meanwhile, is located near Tripoli and houses 821 adult men and adolescent boys. They are also locked in large and unclean cells, each with as many as 100 people, without enough space to lay down at night.

it has become too risky for doctors to reach this isolated facility, while many of the men are sick with scabies and malaria for some of the detainees said they were held by the traffickers for three months in a cave, before they were able to attempt their journey. 

The raft broke shortly after they left the coast, they say. Though they lost everything during their initial attempt to reach Europe, many say they are planning to ask their families for money to try to cross the sea again.
