By Aymen Jamli and Francoise Kadri:The bodies of two migrants have been found in a desert region near Tunisia’s border with Algeria, a judicial official and a witness said on Tuesday. Many have been left to fend for themselves in harsh conditions in remote desert areas near Tunisia’s borders with Algeria and with Libya. “Many of these migrants are trying to reach oases in the area where residents give them food and water,” the witness said. According to Human Rights Watch, many migrants near the border with Algeria “risk their lives” if they are not provided with immediate assistance. Several days ago HRW carried a report quoting witnesses as saying that “several” migrants had died near the Algerian border.
