But this extreme distress is unbearable”.

THURSDAY, the UN has asked of the « solutions urgentes » to rescue the hundreds of refugees and migrants stranded for several weeks in dire conditions near Tunisia’s borders with Libya and Algeria.
Many of these African migrants were driven out of the Tunisian city of Sfax (Centre-Est), the main point of departure for illegal emigration to Europe, following clashes that claimed the life of a Tunisian on 3 July.
These people were transported and abandoned – according to NGOs – in inhospitable areas near Libya (East) and Algeria (West). These immigrants “are stuck in the desert, facing extreme heat and without access to shelter, food or water”alerted the UN agencies for refugees and migrants, noting that reports report deaths.
