Ben Tunisian population Gardane (33 kilometers from the border with Libya) tries to welcome refugees fleeing violence. Their resources are stretched to their capacity as dedicated all efforts to provide aid to those trapped in no man's land. In the Ras Ajdir border post, border guards complained about the lack of resources.
"Ben Gardane is a small town we have no resources to take care of so many people," shouted a policeman in the middle of impotence. Plainclothes policemen armed with machine guns trying to bring order to the constant flow of refugees. On the other side of the fence, thousands of people waited to go into Tunisia.
Protests erupt sporadically on both sides. "We fear that security issues are unleashed," says a ELMUNDO. is Abdelmomen Daymi, the NGO Islamic Relief (an international association of charity). "We put pressure on Egyptian authorities to send ships and planes to repatriate people to their country," he adds.
Ras Ajdir has become a bottleneck in which thousands of Egyptians are trapped for days. Cairo has no resources to take care of these workers who have been driven from Libya. They often worked more than a million Egyptians. Along the road from Ben Gardane (last town before land Libyan Tunisian) to Ras Ajdir men are lying on the sand, sleeping in the open up your bags and protected from the cold desert night with blankets.
The Tunisian army has set up several checkpoints between Ras Ajdir, the military camp which houses 10,000 refugees (8 kilometers) and Ben Gardane. Last night the army blocked the way to the border to vehicles, before the chaos that continues to grow. The border normal trade is suffering, and no passing cars laden with rugs and imported goods being shipped from Libya into Tunisia from the front door.
This is a very poorly developed, semi-desert landscape where quiet grazing herds of camels. Ben Gardane-of some 80,000 inhabitants, is also going through difficult times due to the wave of returnees. Utilities are semi-paralyzed. "Schools are being used to house the newcomers and also the means of transport.
The city is on the brink of its capacity to provide assistance and food becomes scarce," describes Ben riled Hafez, a volunteer with the Tunisian Red Crescent . International organizations warn of the risk of the outbreak a "humanitarian emergency" if nothing is done on time. "We need to establish a humanitarian airlift," claims Ben riled.
