Tunis: As part of its humanitarian response scale up in the Sfax governorate, the International Organisation of Migration (IOM) Tunisia, in close collaboration with its main implementing partner the Tunisian Red Crescent (French: CRT), has provided 7,000 stranded migrants with food baskets during the holy month of Ramadan.

IOM has conducted several field assessments to target urgent needs in terms of WASH, health, and food necessity. As a response, on March 30, IOM and CRT have implemented a mobile health clinic which has targeted 150 migrants with various services, thanks to the dedicated support from the Health Ministry, the Regional Health Directorate in Sfax and CRT, reads a IOM Tunisia press release published Tuesday.

Over the coming months, and in close collaboration with the CRT in Sfax, IOM Tunisia will continue providing immediate large-scale assistance to migrants in need.

“IOM stands ready to collaborate with authorities at national, regional, and local levels, as well as with the wider humanita
rian community, in the provision of emergency assistance to the most vulnerable,” reads the press release.
