Stranded in a strange land, and waiting for death
For nearly three weeks now, more than 1,000 men, women and children from Africa have been clinging to survival in the no-man’s lands at Tunisia’s borders. A few scrubby trees offer fitful shade, videos taken by migrants show, and border guards from neighboring Libya and Tunisian aid workers occasionally drop off water and a bit of bread. Otherwise, there is nothing.
Over and over, they sent pleas for help from the dwindling number of phones they managed to keep charged: “Please help us. We are dying. We don’t have any food and water. We are stranded. If there’s any way you can help us…” By Sunday, the text messages had stopped.
