It has become home to a refugee camp comprised of 264 families and a total population of 1,720. That number was clearly expanding with additional refugees arriving as we were visiting. In fact, they were leveling a second area of the camp to receive additional families.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;text-align: left\"><a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2011\/05\/P42900471.jpg\" rel=\"prettyPhoto[1606]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2011\/05\/P42900471.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"235\" height=\"176\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nMedical care was being provided by several organizations including a tent staffed by Tunisian military doctors, the Tunisian Red Crescent and volunteer physicians from Saudi Arabia. The doctors and organizations had been planning on an ongoing series of volunteers to provide continuing care.The medical needs are many including prenatal care for pregnant women, primary care and immunizations for children and endemic and chronic diseases primary care for adults. There currently were no reports of epidemic diseases but there is exposure to venomous snakes and scorpions in the area.<\/p>\n<div>Please remember the vulnerable people in Libya who are caught up in the midst of this violence in your prayers.
