Ethiopia continues to receive thousands of migrants returned from countries across the region and the Middle East, in response to the COVID-19 global health pandemic. IOM, the International Organization for Migration, is assisting more than 9,400 migrants in the country’s quarantine facilities. Migrants have been sent back to Ethiopia from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Djibouti, Somalia, Sudan, and other countries over the last few weeks. The two were accompanied by the UN Resident Coordinator for Ethiopia, Dr Catherine Sozi. “IOM’s quick response and support for returning migrants in Ethiopia is always appreciated,” Dr Ergogie said.
