Libyan children face food poverty due to division
Children in Libya are facing a severe food crisis due to nutritional poverty, with approximately 50% of them living in conditions lacking adequate nutrition, which affects their health and growth. The root causes are the deteriorating political and security situation since the fall of Gaddafi's regime in 2011, along with declining purchasing power and rising inflation rates, which reached 12.7% by June 2026. These conditions lead to a decline in the consumption of basic foods such as eggs and meat and impact families' ability to provide a balanced diet, leaving long-term effects on children's health and education. There is also a pressing need to improve nutritional awareness and reduce dependence on unhealthy foods. International recommendations highlight the importance of addressing the food poverty crisis as part of broader challenges related to the country's economic and political instability.
