Estimates of the International Organization for Migration (IOM) indicates that a million people flocked from Libya alone since the Revolution began, ended up mostly in neighboring countries such as Egypt, Tunisia or Algeria, but the rest of them and with them thousands of Tunisians who took advantage of anarchy in their country after the fall of Ben Ali turned north to Europe to raise the crisis there.
