@osmanberet Every child deserves a family to care and protect them. We are moving away from institutionalisation of children. I wish we could identify foster families and support the kids from those homes.
79 refugees and asylum seekers recently evacuated from Libya, after a transit in hotels for #COVID19 test complying with the protocol on COVID-19 Prevention measures, have safely arrived in Gashora Transit Centre where they will be hosted.
The 4th group of #refugees & asylum seekers who were stranded in #Libya will be evacuated to Rwanda this Thursday, Nov.19, 2020. It’s in line with the framework of the Emergency Transit Mechanism established through the MoU signed between the GoR, UNHCR & the @_AfricanUnion

Yesterday UNHCR evacuated 153 refugees out of Libya to the transit camp in Niger. The group included nationals of Eritrea, Somalia, Sudan, and South Sudan, including 16 families and 15 children under the age of 18. I'm told about 50 evacuees were survivors the Tajoura bombing.
Any repatriation of refugees should be voluntary, safe and dignified.
@RefugeesRwanda continue to assist voluntary and sustainable repatriation of Burundian refugees living in Rwanda.
Yesterday, 511 refugees from Mahama refugee camp were facilitated to return to Burundi.
