Tunisia - Libya Uprising - Refugee Crisis at the Ras Djir Checkpoint

CAbout 70,000 refugees had entered Tunisia since the uprising began in Libya and only an estimated 20 percent had been repatriated, the UNHCR team-leader said. The UN agency built a transit camp of hundreds of white tents overnight about 7 km (4 miles) back from the border, with the capacity to provide temporary relief for up to 20,000. At night fall, the latest refugees come to the camp. (Photo by Patrick ROBERT/Corbis via Getty Images)
