A source in the Libyan Foreign Ministry said that the ministry has sent letters to fve African countries, as a number of missed children holding nationalities of these countries were found. 
According to the source, the countries are Tunisia, Ghana, Sudan, Egypt and Senegal, which were informed of "the presence of orphans in Libya whose parents were killed during the liberation of Sirte in last year's battles.
The source pointed out that the number of these children are nearly 31 children, most of whom are unaccompanied by their mothers, however, the Libyan Red Crescent takes care of them.
Human rights campaigns have called on international community to rescue the children who have been living in terrible conditions in Libya after their parents were killed fighting amongst terrorist groups in the country.
The Tunisian Observatory for Human Rights head, Mustafa Abdul Kabir, said: “There are 13 children aged between two and eight years old living with their mothers in tragic situations in Libyan prisons, after their fathers died fighting with Takfiri groups who have been eliminated during the American strikes in the cities of Sabratha and Sirte.”
These children in the end are Tunisian and there is no fault with them and the Tunisian authorities and the Foreign Ministry needs to work on returning them and other prisoners in Libyan jails because it is tasked with following up on the situation and responsible for the Tunisian community abroad. They believe that there are currently at least ten children aged under five years of age abandoned in Libyan jails. Most  of  the orphans’ “parents were killed during air strikes against Daesh targets in Sirte and Sabratha.
