IOM
Ethiopia has assisted over 21,000 Ethiopian returnees arriving home
on Ethiopian government charter flights from the Kingdom of Saudi
Arabia (KSA) over the past 12 days, following a KSA crackdown on
undocumented migrants.
Ethiopia began bringing migrant workers home from the KSA on November 13th. It is now flying up to 12 charters a day from the KSA to Addis Ababa.
Four processing points have been set up by the government, with support from IOM, to assist the returnees. IOM provides them with overnight accommodation, food, water, shoes and money for transport to their places of origin.

IOM
indicated that it will need approximately
USD 4.5 million to
adequately support 30,000 returnees. This figure could increase in
coming weeks depending on the actual number of arrivals. To read more Click here
