The Libyan Refugee Crisis

A Bangladeshi evacuee bathes at an UNHCR refugee camp near the border crossing of Ras Jdir after fleeing violence in Libya March 7, 2011.

While the world focuses on Japan for the time being, the fight in Libya between pro and anti-Gaddafi supporters continues. Gaddafi seems to be gaining the upper-hand by using heavy military equipment against the poorly equipped rebels. Caught in the cross fire are the foreign workers trying to get out. Those with rich enough governments have been airlifted to safety. Those with the wrong passport have been fleeing to refugee camps in Tunisia, hoping to go back home as soon as possible and making the most of it.

People in Tunisia and Egypt are driving to the border to help those arriving from Libya, with many hosting strangers in their homes, international aid groups said on Friday. More than 30,000 people have streamed across land borders in response to violence in Libya, mainly Tunisians and Egyptians who had been working in the North African country, according to the International Organisation for Migration.
