As of the latest IOM DTM report  ( 30 May ) , an estimated 90,500 have been forced to fee their homes. Out of which 51% are females. While most of the IDP families are staying in private accommodation, over 3,900 IDPs are hosted in 47 diferent collective shelters in various municipalities.
It also added that since the start of the evacuation operation from Libya in late 2017, a total of 2,879 persons  ( including unaccompanied children )  have been evacuated to Niger  ( 2,202 ) , Italy  ( 415 )  and the ETC Romania  ( 262 ) . “There are 176 evacuated unaccompanied children remaining in Niger.'

There is a risk of an outbreak of infectious disease due to dirty water and the increasing number of people displaced who have access to limited services  ( REUTERS 12/04/2019 ) . Very poor hygiene and sanitation conditions and a severe lack of drinkable water continue to affect the health of migrants in detention centres  ( REACH 17/04/2019; OCHA 22/04/2019 ) . Health concerns are also raised because of the breakdown of the waste management system in conflict affected areas.
Humanitarian actors estimate that over 100,000 men, women and children remain in immediate frontline areas, with over 400,000 more in areas directly impacted by clashes  ( within a one kilometre radius of the front ) . Concerns are high for civilians unable to leave these areas, as conditions deteriorate and emergency services are unable to get through

This includes nearly 3,600 refugees and migrants trapped in detention centres  ( DCs )  located in conflict affected areas or in areas at risk of armed conflict.
The fighting has left at least 16 power lines out of service, causing a total blackout in several areas of south Tripoli. There are warnings that the entire western region of Libya may face a total blackout if any of the electrical circuits become damaged  ( The Libya Observer 16/04/2019 ) .
Protection Concerns remain high for civilians trapped in conflict areas and first responders. Some 1,100 refugees and migrants in the QBG and Gharyan Detention Centres  ( DCs )  are at high risk. Additional 3,600 refugees and migrants in other Tripoli DCs could be at higher risk should the conflict escalate. 14 civilian fatalities including three medical staff, were reported since the onset of the fighting.

In the same period some 1,800 people were displaced and about 37,300 individuals returned to Derna since the beginning of the conflict in the area. Some IDPs among the 12,000 who fled from Benghazi to Tripoli are concerned about their safety due to perceived affiliation.
According to protection partners, several families including women, children and people with specific needs  ( PwSN )  are displaced on the open area with limited or no access to protection and humanitarian assistance, which make them more vulnerable.

The fighting in Tripoli has brought the crisis in Libya to the headlines across the world, highlighting the crucial role that European countries have to support people in need. Refugees and migrants continue to be at a heightened risk. Many are trapped in detention centers or living in the shadows. At this dangerous time, it is now more crucial than ever for the European Union to address policies such as allowing arbitrary detention and the withdrawal of search rescue missions in the Mediterranean Sea that put people at risk.
Access to markets for an unconfirmed number of civilians trapped in conflict affected areas remains a key concern, particularly in Ain Zara and Tajoura. According to a Food Sector, prices of fresh vegetables and cooking oil have increased, as well as the cost of gas for cooking.  Access to food remains a key concern at DCs exposed to or at risk of armed conflict, where 3,343 refugees and migrants are currently detained.
The extremely volatile security situation means access for UNHCR and other humanitarian organisations to some areas remains severely restricted. UNHCR appeals for unimpeded and sustained humanitarian access to all affected areas and to agree to a temporary humanitarian truce to allow for the provision of emergency services and the safe and voluntary passage of civilians out of conflict affected areas.
With an estimated total of 667 dead across the Mediterranean in the first six months of 2019, UNHCR calculates that one out of every six persons died in the attempt to reach Europe, compared with one in 18 in the same period last year.

For civilians trapped by frontline fighting, including urban refugees and migrants, access to food is becoming a greater challenge.

IDPs displaced to areas in proximity to ongoing clashes remain at risk, along with the host communities currently providing them shelter. DTMIOM reports an increasing number of IDPs in locations further away from conflict affected areas, particularly along the coastal line of Western Libya. This trend toward movement further away from Tripoli is expected to increase the radius of areas in need of humanitarian assistance.
Airstrikes indiscriminately impact residential areas, with one child killed and three children injured in airstrikes during past four days, according to Health Sector partners.  Armed conflict continues to impact health facilities and personnel, as shelling damages a hospital in Espeaa, south of Tripoli on 28 April, leading to temporary evacuation and disruption of health services.

Migrants are being denied access to shelters for internally displaced people  ( IDPs ) , and are reportedly being forced to work for militias controlling their detention centres.
Increased risk of Gender Based Violence continues to manifest as a result of the ongoing conflict and conflict affected children and their caregivers are in need of psychosocial support and recreational activities. 7 Children and their families are at increased risk to unexploded ordnances  ( UXO )  and explosive devices since the conflict is close to residential areas in southern Tripoli, meaning they are in need of mine risk education.
