Libya revolt: Libya refugees flood into Tunisia : "At first it was dozens of foreigners, most of them Egyptian laborers, teetering under the weight of plastic-wrapped boxes or suitcases they carried on their backs as they made their way past customs guards and immigration officers into relative safety in Tunisia.

Volunteers, some from the Tunisian equivalent of the Boy Scouts, handed them bottles of milk and sandwiches with gobs of tomato sauce and tuna.

Then the crowds grew larger and larger. Busloads of Chinese engineers. Turkish businessmen. A smattering of Koreans. A wealthy Tunisian in a late-model BMW.

And still more people came, the numbers reaching into the thousands, perhaps tens of thousands."
