The International Organization for Migration (IOM), 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. IOM is supporting the Government of Ethiopia to ensure returning migrants receive medical care, food, shelter and other assistance during quarantine and after, including helping them return to their villages. 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.
