South Asian governments have begun evacuating nationals stranded in Libya, as the unrest across the country intensifies. The Indian authorities organised two flights to bring back about 500 of some 18,000 Indians in Libya. India has also sent three warships to help with the evacuation. Hundreds of Nepali workers are also being evacuated. Sri Lankan workers are leaving the country via Jordan. UN estimates, about 100,000 people have fled anti-government unrest in Libya over the past week. Hundreds of Bangladeshis are also reported to have been stuck at Tripoli's airport for more than a week, saying that their government has not been able to evacuate them.
