The International Organisation for Migration (IOM) expressed on Monday its concern over bringing a new group of migrants to Tajoura detention centre, two weeks after the centre attacked.
The IOM confirmed that migrants’ safety must be guaranteed.
On 10 July, a total of 310 illegal immigrants left Tajoura detention centre Wednesday for the Anti-Illegal Immigration Agency in Tripoli’s Trig al-Seka.
This came after Tajoura’s detention center, which hosted around 600 migrants, lost on 3 July at least 44 lives and more than 130 were severely injured in an airstrike that hit the detention centre.
In a statement, the GNA blamed the LNA for the bombing, but the eastern army denied that accusation.
The UN accused the guards of the GNA of shooting migrants while trying to flee the airstrike that targeted Tajoura’s detention centre.
A report issued by the U.N. Office for Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) Thursday said the guards forced migrants to stay in the Tajoura detention centre even after two airstrikes had hit an unoccupied garage and a hangar housing about 120 refugees and migrants near the detention centre.
