People smugglers are shooting at refugees

bani walid - Smugglers have opened fire to migrants and refugees who tried to escape from the complex where they were imprisoned in appalling conditions, to the west of the Libyan city of Bani Walid.

The international organization MSF-Holland said on Friday that at least 15 deaths are to be regretted. There were also 25 wounded, seven of whom had to be hospitalized with gunshot wounds and broken bones.

The survivors, mostly teenagers, said that more than a hundred people have tried to run away. Approximately forty others, predominantly women, stayed behind in the illegal prison. The AzG team makes every effort to save them. The victims come mainly from Eritrea, Ethiopia and Somalia.
