Sana’a / Addis Abeba, January 30/2019 – Approximately 350 Ethiopian migrants stranded in Yemen are set to fly home this week under the International Organization for Migration’s (IOM) latest Voluntary Humanitarian Return (VHR) flight operation. In 2018, IOM provided VHR to more than 1,000 vulnerable migrants. In addition to operating the VHR mechanism out of Yemen, IOM teams provide humanitarian and protection support to vulnerable migrants throughout the country. In addition, IOM provides specialized care for unaccompanied migrant children, many of whom were unprepared for the treacherous journey to Yemen. A few vulnerable migrants will receive reintegration assistance through cash grants.
