Given the ways in which foreigners in vulnerable situations were impacted by Covid-19, the Ministry of Human Rights worked with civil society organizations to create a “commission . . . to monitor the humanitarian situation of foreigners residing in Tunisia.” The commission launched an online platform “to collect requests for aid” from migrants “or their representatives” and “offers of donations or financial aid” from private actors.
