In Libya, the first cases of COVID-19 were reported in March 2020. The subsequent measures implemented to curb the spread of the virus have resulted in a rise in food prices and scarcity of some types of food in certain areas, which can constitute a threat to the food security, safety and wellbeing of migrants, refugees and IDPs. In addition, according to field observers, those measures have significantly reduced daily labor opportunities on which many migrant workers rely on for subsistence.
