1200 migrants – including pregnant women and 29 children – are stranded with little food, water, or shelter, in a heavily militarised zone on the border between Tunisia and Libya.

All were rounded up in Tunisia and bussed to the border, but Libyan border guards are refusing to let them in.

The foreign ministers of both countries have discussed what they call ‘irregular migration.’

Human Rights Watch accuses Tunisia of violating international law by ‘collective expulsions’ of black migrants mostly from sub-Saharan Africa. And says they need immediate humanitarian aid.
