The International Organization for Migration (IOM) and Ghana’s Embassy in Tripoli have repatriated 165 Ghanaians who were living in Libya.
In a press release dated Thursday, February 8, 2024, the Ministry of Information stated that the 165 Ghanaians will land at the Kotoka International Airport at 1500 GMT.
As part of the Voluntary Humanitarian Return (VHR) program for 2023, the Embassy and IOM helped the fourth group of 169 Ghanaians to return to Accra from Tripoli last October.
In addition, a third batch of 134 Ghanaian nationals was voluntarily repatriated from Misrata to Ghana on October 10, 2023, under the same program.
This brings the total number of Ghanaians benefiting from the VHR program in 2023 to 629.
Priority was given to individuals in detention centres, individuals requiring medical assistance, families with children, stranded individuals, and the destitute in need of assistance to return to Ghana.
