Around 215 thousand people were internally displaced due to violence and conflicts in Libya in 2019. Eight years before, in 2011, the Libyan war had forced nearly 500 thousand people to leave their homes, yet remaining within the country's borders. In the period examined, Libya was among the countries with the highest prevalence of displacement caused by conflicts in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region.
