Tunisia, Choucha Camp: a life between arriving and leaving
Over 250,000 people are estimated to have crossed into Tunisia from Libya since 20 February, fleeing the violence in that country. Almost 4,000 people are still living in Choucha transit camp, 7 km from the border. Despite living in tents under difficult conditions, and despite their uncertain future, these people are trying to live as normal life as possible.
