Tunisian families seek refuge in Algeria to flee poverty

Three Tunisian families including 13 members Friday crossed the Algerian borders through the small village of Boukous fleeing poverty.

• The local authorities have immediately assisted the families, who according to them, live in very hard social conditions in their native country, especially that tight measures were implemented by the Tunisian authorities to control their business activities, the main revenues of these families,  with their Algerian counterparts.
• Several Tunisian families fled their home towns and crossed the Algerian borders in a recent past to seek refuge due to precarious social and economic conditions.
