From the Libyan borders with love... Part 3

In Libya, I looked at the faces of the workers who were crossing the borders from both sides. They were Vietnamese, Filipino, Bengali, Pakistani, Sudanese, Nigerian and from other poor countries. Then I looked at the situation they were in, lacking shelter and sanitation, lying by the side of the road at the border. I felt their pain at the loss of all security, the loss of an income.

The international community needs to feel their pain too and help those stranded arrive home safely, or those who do not have a home, find a secure one. We need to look at our agenda and practice what we preach: inclusivity, peace, unity, transparency and honesty.

In the end, the people whom we serve as humanitarian workers are in charge, and we must be held accountable for their welfare.
