Thousands of foreigners evacuated from Libyan port

Thousands of foreign workers are being evacuated from Libya's second-largest city, as Europe, the United States and the United Nations donate more than $30 million to help the chaotic exodus that has reached almost 200,000 from the North African nation.

Immigration officials began evacuating 5,500 foreign workers Thursday from the eastern Libyan port of Benghazi, now held by rebels opposed to strongman Muammar Gaddafi's regime. (AP)
