Tunisia agreed with Egypt and Libya to transport 13,000 Egyptians stuck at Ras Jdair crossing on Tunisian and Egyptian flights, said Tunisian Interior Minister Lotfy bin Jedo Tuesday.
Bin Jedo added in a press statement reported by Tripoli Today that Tunisia agreed with Egypt to provide seven Egyptian planes and five Tunisian others to transport Egyptians who escaped the war in Libya to Ras Jdair crossing on the Tunisian border.
The Tunisian interior minister concluded saying that the number of Egyptians on border could increase and suggested providing vessels to transfer them through Gergees port to guarantee the largest number could be transported.
