[Tunisia]: Refgees Daily - UNHCR considers Tunisian camps for possible Libyan influx

The UNHCR in Tunisia has confirmed that it is in talks with the Tunisian government about re-establishing refugee camps to cope with any mass flight from Libya.

Unofficial reports have suggested that plans to re-open Choucha, one of the camps set up during the Libyan revolution are under active discussion. Choucha, just across the border from Libya was used primarily to house third country nationals who had fled the Libyan fighting.
