Libya set to be affected by UN humanitarian office cutbacks

The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) has announced that Libya will be among ten countries facing a reduction in the agency’s presence and operations. It comes amidst a $58 million budget shortfall, which is forcing the OCHA to cut 20% of its workforce. In addition to Libya, the reductions will affect Cameroon, Colombia, Eritrea, Iraq, Nigeria, Pakistan and Zimbabwe.
