Egyptian refugees, who fled the unrest in Libya, queue up, near the Ra's Ajdir border crossing between Libya and Tunisia, for transport away from the border. Thousands of people, of many nationalities but mostly Egyptian migrant workers, are still waiting to be admitted into Tunisia, resulting in chaos at the border. In recent days an estimated 70,000 refugees have crossed into Tunisia fleeing the hostilities in Libya and raising the spectre of a humanitarian crisis at the border.
