More than 172 000 people crossed the border from Libya to Egypt and Tunisia this week, Valerie Amos, deputy secretary general for humanitarian affairs of the United Nations Organization (UNO). Following reports that the system prevents people from leaving the country, Amos leader Moammar Gadhafi urged to leave the borders open.
He added that the agency was studying satellite images to see if more people were gathering at the border. "Until Thursday, over 172 thousand people had left Libya, mostly immigrant workers who return to their homes." Amos said the biggest concern is that the number of people who left Libya fell sharply yesterday.
"The heavily armed government forces were deployed at the border. We hope that the movement of people continues. " The official said this week there had been a "bottleneck" on the border with Tunisia, where 30 000 people looked through it in two days. The UN set up an area of transition from Tunisian side.
