More than 400 Ethiopian migrants stranded in Yemen are being airlifted home this week. The first group of Ethiopian migrants were flown home Monday. By the time this Voluntary Humanitarian Return operation or VHR ended on Thursday, the U.N. migration agency had 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. International Organization for Migration says at least a hundred thousand migrants reached Yemen last year.
