The total number of Egyptians who returned home via the Libya-Tunisia border reached 100,920, reliable sources at Cairo International Airport said on Monday.

Around 5713 Egyptians, including six foreigners, arrived over the past 24 hours on board ten EgyptAir flights.

British, French, American flights as well as Turkish ships have helped to evacuate Egyptians who fled Libya when protests calling for the ouster of Libyan leader Muammar Qadhafi first began on 17 February.

The Egyptian Foreign Ministry announced the killing of six Egyptians in Libya.

Egypt has the biggest foreign community in Libya, with around 1.5 million people working in the country.
