A total of 574,146 migrants of over 43 nationalities were identified in Round 33 of DTM data collection (September and October 2020). Migrants’ presence was recorded in all 100 Libyan municipalities and in 579 (out of 667) communities (muhallas). More than two thirds of migrants identified in Libya (384,013 individuals or 67%) are from neighbouring Niger (20%), Egypt (17%), Chad (15%) and Sudan (14%). This highlights that despite mobility restrictions migration patterns remain heavily influenced by geographical proximity and diasporic ties.
