More than 400 Ethiopian Migrants stranded in Yemen will be airlifted home this week. The first group of Ethiopian migrants were flown home Monday. By the time this Voluntary Humanitarian Return operation or VHR ends on Thursday, the U.N. Migration Agency will have airlifted 418 migrants from Yemen to Ethiopia. During the past few years, the IOM Voluntary Humanitarian Return operation has assisted many migrants to go home by sea. As a consequence, thousands of migrants have become stranded in Yemen in miserable conditions.
