Aid officials said they were facing a "migration tsunami" as more than 10,000 people streamed through the tiny border crossing of Ras Jedir.
Hamid Mohammed, a 45-year-old labourer, said: "They were arresting our friends – Tunisians and Egyptians – people they thought had helped the revolution.
"I saw six Egyptians killed by police. Just shot in the street like dogs.
"After that we knew that Tripoli was not safe for us."
Others had similar stories, explaining that their phone batteries or sim cards had been seized to prevent them taking photographs or telling their stories to the outside world.
