Refugees and undocumented migrants in Tunisia are facing an uncertain future as police have ordered them to vacate their makeshift camps, including one led by nurse Patricia. With a deadline of 48 hours to leave the olive fields outside Sfax, residents are left without options, as they cannot move to any of the previously established camps due to ongoing police operations designed to clear the area. Previous camps have been demolished, leaving many in fear of their safety and uncertain about where to go next. Patricia awaits a response from the IOM for repatriation to Sierra Leone, adding to her anxiety during this crisis.
Patricia, a nurse, expressed her desperation over the threat of eviction from the olive fields outside Sfax, saying she doesn't know where she and others will go.
The refugee community fears for their future as Tunisian police are clearing makeshift camps, destroying homes, and arresting anyone who resists the removals.
Having applied to the IOM months ago to return to Sierra Leone, Patricia remains in limbo, anxiously awaiting a response amid the ongoing crackdown.
Despite hopes for safety, no one in the camp has any illusions about what will happen when the 48-hour deadline expires, especially after previous demolitions.
