After weeks on the run, thousands of black Libyans driven from their homes during the revolt against Muammar Gaddafi find refuge of sorts in a camp in Benghazi.<br/> Their flight began last summer, when anti-Gaddafi forces overran their home town of Tawergha and vengeance-seeking crowds ransacked it, leaving behind a ghost town.<br/> In just two week the camp has grown to nearly 3,000 people. Aid is coming in. But some are still hungry.<br/> Many need the basic necessities. Residents are torn between a desire to go home and fear of what would happen if they did.<br/> Throughout the uprising against Muammar Gaddafi, his opponents have accused him of hiring fighters from neighboring African countries which led to reports of mistreatment of blacks, including Libyans.<br/> SOUNDBITE: Libyan refugee, saying: (Arabic):<br/> "We are asking the National Transitional Council to help us to go back to our homeland, because this would be better than staying in such camps. We can co-operate together to reconstruct the damaged houses in Tawerga, I know it is our fate, but it would be fixed with some cooperation."<br/> Some refugees have become sick from contaminated food or water. There are reports of hepatitis in the camp.<br/> SOUNDBITE: Dr. Randa Meftah, saying: (Arabic):<br/> "We do not receive any help from the governmental associations or organizations. The National Council does not appoint a certain governmental committee to help us. No medicine, no aid,"<br/> The Tawergha displaced add yet another delicate task to the growing workload of Libya's interim rulers, as they try to reunify the country and impose the rule of law.<br/> Deborah Lutterbeck, Reuters
