Refugees stuck in Libya 'really struggling'
Coronavirus appears to have stemmed the flow of migrants into Europe in recent weeks - but the consequence of that is that many migrants are stuck in transit countries like Libya - in detention centres or just on the streets.
Conditions have always been poor, but now the supply of food and water is erratic - and there's concern that there is the potential for covid-19 to quickly spread amongst people closely packed together. There are also reports of an increase in robberies.
Sally Hayden, a migration journalist, is in contact with a number of refugees in Libya.
