More than 4000 Europeans repatriated from Libya. 2000 still in place (updated)
According to the last count, there would still be about 2000 European nationals in Libya. Yesterday, Thursday (February 24), there were about 3400 nationals left in the country, many of whom are being evacuated, and 600/800 with dual nationality (not all of whom intend to leave). And more than 3600 European citizens had already been evacuated.
NB: The EU recently spoke of 9/10.000 Europeans in Libya. The difference between this figure and the 7000 counted is explained by the fact that it is not clear how many Europeans were there. Some have also returned by their own means directly. The figure has since been revised downwards.
