Refugee women, children raped and starved in Libya: UNICEF
Women and children heading towards Europe to flee poverty and conflicts in Africa are being beaten, raped and starved in militia-run detention centres in Libya, the United Nations children's agency UNICEF has said. Terming overcrowded detention centres as "living hellholes" and "forced labour camps", UNICEF called on the international community to establish safe and legal pathways for refugees.
