Dhaka – The International Organization for Migration (IOM) – in close coordination with the Government of Bangladesh – this week facilitated the safe return of 160 Bangladeshi migrants stranded in Libya via its Voluntary Humanitarian Return (VHR) programme.
The flight left Benghazi, Libya, on 4 May and landed safely at Dhaka’s Hazrat Shajalal International Airport (HSIA) the following day. The migrants were stranded in Libya due to COVID-19 and the challenging security situation in the country. IOM worked closely with Libyan authorities and the Embassy of Bangladesh in Libya to assist these people in getting home.
Prior to departure, the migrants underwent health checks, and IOM provided them with pre-departure transportation assistance, counselling services and protection screening. They also received personal protective equipment (PPE) and took COVID-19 tests (PCR) before commencing the return to Bangladesh.
