Thursday, July 28, 2022, 301 Haitians were voluntarily repatriated, after their failure to integrate into Turkey and not 135 people as previously announced https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-37261-haiti-turkey-135-haitians-voluntarily-repatriated-to-haiti.html -voluntarily-in-haiti.html

Many of these compatriots had been promised a better life and job opportunities but finally found themselves in a different and difficult reality which, after 1 year and more of disappointments, left them without resources.

Despite the situation of insecurity in Haiti, they appealed to the Haitian Chancellery for their repatriation being unable to afford a plane ticket...

The International Organization for Migration (IOM - Haiti) and IOM - Turkey, in collaboration with the Haitian Chancellery, the Citizen Protection Office and other partners, made their return possible.

The IOM team provided pre-departure and post-arrival assistance to Haitians at Toussaint Louverture International Airport in Port-au-Prince, which included humanitarian assistance, protection services and health care.
