The European Union has allocated €25 million ($29 million) in new funding to expand migration cooperation into eastern Libya, per a letter seen Monday afternoon. The capital injection aims to bolster border management, anti-smuggling operations, and search-and-rescue activities across the North African state's eastern territories.
