March 7: Men from Bangladesh, who used to work in Libya but recently fled the unrest, rest as they wait for their buses to be repatriated to their country, at a refugee camp at the Tunisia-Libya border, in Ras Ajdir, Tunisia. A top aid official says more than 213,000 foreign workers have fled Libya's violence and hundreds of thousands more are struggling to get out. The exodus is creating a humanitarian crisis across the border with Tunisia - another North African country in turmoil after an uprising in January that ousted its longtime leader. (AP)
