UN: Libyan refugee 'crisis' tops 140,000
Violence and chaos in Libya have triggered an exodus of more than 140,000 refugees into Tunisia and Egypt, a UN official said Tuesday, as aid workers warned the situation at the Tunisian border has reached crisis point.
Officials say the situation has been made even more volatile by humanitarian aid workers being blocked from reaching western Libya, patients reportedly being executed in hospitals, or shot by gunmen hiding in ambulances. (AP)
