In the first phase 47 adults and seven children will be on boardA total of 54 Bangladeshi expatriates are returning home from Lebanon as part of the government's repatriation initiative amid the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hezbollah. The flight will carry 47 adults and seven children in the first phase of the operation. The initiative was launched as a response to growing concerns among Bangladeshi nationals in Lebanon, many of whom had requested to be repatriated due to the worsening situation. The government began registering those wishing to return, and so far, a list of 1,800 names has been compiled. This marks the first instance of the government facilitating the return of Bangladeshis from the Middle East, with plans to gradually bring back those who registered.
