It is estimated up to 75,000 people have fled for neighbouring Tunisia. Most of them are Egyptian migrants who had been working in Libya. They are angry at their government for what they call its slow response in evacuating them.

With so many people to cope with, most have been given the minimum to sustain them: some milk and bread and perhaps a blanket. "The situation here is almost a catastrophe," said one man. "We call on all the organisations of the world, all governments all humanitarian associations to intervene to help these people return home with dignity."
