East Libya: Europe’s Smuggling Frontline 🌍

Eastern Libya is the new doorway to Europe for those being smuggled from Africa and Asia.

Sky News has gone behind the scenes of the human trafficking trade - and the attempt to halt it.

The civil war that has ripped apart Sudan has forced thousands to flee north into Egypt and Libya, where smuggling gangs arrange their escape into Europe.

But in East Libya, the ruling authority has begun a crackdown on the trade.

Sky's Special Correspondent Alex Crawford gained unprecedented access to the teams that are attempting to stop the smuggling gangs and their human cargo.
