False information alert

UNHCR Libya is aware of false information currently circulating in the community, including:

🔴 A rumour that two cruise ships have arrived in Tripoli to transport 20,000 asylum seekers to another country, with claims that UNHCR is involved.
🔴 A fraudulent message shared on WhatsApp that falsely promises 1,300 LYD in financial assistance from UNHCR through an online registration link.

⚠️ Both claims are completely false.

UNHCR is not facilitating any such movements, and no cruise ships have arrived for this purpose.
UNHCR is also not offering any cash assistance including through online links.

UNHCR and its partners provide all services; protection, assistance, and information—free of charge. 

🛑 Do not share personal information or documents through unofficial links or with individuals claiming to be from UNHCR.
➡️ Always rely on our official communication channels.
✅ If you do not hear it from UNHCR directly, do not believe it.
