TUNISIA, RA'S AJDIR, 4 MARCH 2011
Bangladeshi workers wait for food at an army refugee camp some kilometres away from the border. Low cost workers from Bangladesh are increasingly getting desperate. Most of them did not receive a couple of months wages when they left Libya. Also, once at the border nobody is taking care of them, their Korean companies Shinhan and Hanil seem to have forgotten about them and so has their govenment. Thousands of refugees, mostly egyptian workers, have stranded in Tunisia, causing a huge chaos at the border. In the last couple of days an estimate of 90.000 refugees have crossed the tunisian border fleeing the hostilities in Libya.
