The distribution, which took place on Friday, was overseen by the Libyan Relief Agency in cooperation with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), according to a statement from the Libyan Relief and Humanitarian Aid Agency.

The operational teams of the Libyan Relief Agency, along with its branch in Al Marj municipality, led by Ahmed Al-Abidi and with the participation of UNHCR representative for eastern Libya, Salah Najm, distributed aid to 391 Sudanese families.

The aid distribution began on Thursday and concluded on Friday, aiming to meet the urgent needs of Sudanese refugees facing difficult conditions due to displacement and asylum.
