Libyan exodus creates refugee and health worker crisis.

摘要

Colonel Muammar al-Gaddafi's brutal crackdown on the uprising, which began Feb 22, has left thousands dead and made more than a quarter of a million people refugees. Aid agencies are scrambling to respond. The first difficulty has been to even assess the needs on the ground-no international medical teams have officially been allowed to enter Gaddafi-controlled conflict zones in the western part of the country. So far, international agencies are focusing their attention on the humanitarian needs of refugees streaming across the Egyptian and Tunisian borders.
