Deputy High Commissioner for UN High Commission of Refugees (UNHCR) Kelly T. Clements on Tuesday stressed need for additional support from the international community for refugees in Libya. More than 268,000 Libyans are now internally displaced, including 120,000 displaced since the beginning of the armed conflict earlier in April between the UN-backed government and the rival east-based army in and around the capital Tripoli.
