MEDU in Niger supporting the most vulnerable refugees

Since March, MEDU has started a project in Agadez, in partnership with UNHCR, in support of the most vulnerable asylum seekers and refugees. The MEDU medical-psychological team will provide assistance to over 1,600 refugees fleeing Libya (women, men and children, mostly Sudanese), who live now in difficult conditions in the Saharan city of Agadez, a crucial hub for migration routes from West Africa to Europe. Most of the migrants fled the violence of their country and were victims of severe abuses, torture including sexual and gender based violence, and slavery-like work conditions in the Libyan detention camps.
