U.N. agencies said on Monday they are trying to provide urgent help to large numbers of migrants held and then stranded in the smuggling hub of Sabratha as rival factions battled for control of the city.

At least four-thousand migrants, including pregnant women, newborn babies and unaccompanied children have been transferred from informal camps and housing to a hangar in the city since the clashes ended last week.

According to the International Organization for Migration.
