German diplomats compared refugee camps in Libya with "concentration camps." The living conditions in these facilities are almost unbearable, they revealed.

In particular, they reported about "severe, systematic violations of human rights."

Those include "regular mockeries, torture, rape, extortion," which have become a common practice in the camps, the report said.

At the sane time, this fact still doesn't stop refugees from entering the Arab country, from which they can further move to Europe.

According to Welt am Sonntag, the report of the Joint Center for Analysis and Strategy of Illegal Migration noted that the migration flow through Libya has not decreased despite "dangerous living conditions."

Libya is noted to be the primary escape route for undocumented refugees seeking to flee violence in their home countries in the Middle East and Africa.

Europe's migration crisis has hit European countries over the last few years, with many of them struggling to cope with the growing influx of migrants.
