IOM plans 3 flights in March to repatriate stranded Bangladeshis from Libya

The International Organization for Migration (IOM) has planned three special flights this month to repatriate stranded Bangladeshi nationals from Libya.

According to the Bangladesh Embassy in Tripoli, a flight will depart from Misrata on March 12 while two more flights will operate from Tripoli on March 19 and 26 respectively.

The embassy stated that IOM has initially scheduled these three repatriation flights and is working closely with the embassy to complete the necessary formalities, including obtaining exit visas (Khurooj Nihai) and securing required approvals from Libyan authorities.

IOM aims to facilitate the return of registered migrants from Tripoli and Misrata through these flights. 

Meanwhile, the Bangladesh Embassy in Tripoli continues its efforts to repatriate other registered migrants from Benghazi and those newly interested in returning home safely and swiftly.

The embassy reassured all concerned that it is taking every possible measure to ensure the safe repatriation of Bangladeshi migrants and remains in constant communication with relevant authorities.
