Tunisian Police Raid Refugee Encampments; Hundreds Reportedly Bused Then Abandoned in the Desert

HeadlineMay 07, 2024

In Tunisia, hundreds of refugees, including children and babies, are missing after police raided and dismantled several makeshift migrant tent camps in the capital Tunis over the weekend. It is believed the refugees, mostly from Sudan, were forcibly taken and abandoned in the desert near the border with Algeria. Some of the babies were born in Tunisia from refugee parents. One of the encampments had been built in an alleyway outside the U.N.’s International Organization for Migration office as refugees pleaded for help.
