Description :
Today many Bangladeshi were able to get in contact with family.
Due to the violences in Libya, thousands of migrant workers, mainly Egyptians but also Bangladeshi and other nationalities, fled the country to Tunisia.
The migrant workers are waiting before being able to leave to Djerba, Tunis or Zarzis for repatriation to their home country or a resettlement in a third country.
The UNHCR said more than 140.000 persons fled to the neighboring countries during the last days.
