David Cameron has been accused of reacting to the Libyan crisis in slow motion. A complaint that has led to the British premier to overact in the last hours. First advocating the creation of an air exclusion zone and now announcing an airlift of refugees out of the trap in Egypt which has become the border between Tunisia and Libya.
The deployment was announced by surprise Cameron in the Commons and aims to repatriate some 6,000 refugees Egyptians in the coming days. The British Government sent three aircraft to the Tunisian city of Djerba and from there the aircraft made several flights to Cairo. The first plane will leave this afternoon from Stansted Airport and another will do so from East Midlands.
The operation was carried out in the coming days. The budget has not been made public. But experts speculated that not more than 10 million euros. "It is vital to carry out this deployment," said Cameron, "we should avoid staying in a refugee camp, they can return to their homes. I am glad that the UK can play an important role in making that happen ".
According to Wen, some 162,000 people have crossed the border in recent days and "perceived the first signs of a serious humanitarian problem." The United Kingdom is not the only country that has announced plans to repatriate refugees Egyptians. France has announced a similar plan that seeks to recover about 5,000 people in the coming days and comprising an air bridge and a possible naval evacuation.
The evacuation is not the only proposal that Cameron has announced about refugees. The premier has revealed that the British Government has sent some 36,000 blankets and tents for 1,500 people. These figures insufficient to meet the humanitarian emergency but relevant while waiting for assistance from other international agencies.
The airlift is not the only humanitarian deployment is taking place the UK in the area of conflict. The ship HMS York is docked at the port of Benghazi to supply medical equipment to hospitals and help support a humanitarian mission.
