Ghana’s embassy in Tripoli in collaboration with the International Organisation for Migration (IOM), has repatriated 165 Ghanaians from Libya to Ghana.
They arrived at the Kotoka International Airport at Thursday (8 February) at 1500 hours GMT.
This was contained in a statement issued by the Information Ministry on Thursday (8 February).
Meanwhile, the embassy and the IOM in October last year facilitated the repatriation of the fourth batch of 169 Ghanaians from Tripoli to Accra under the Voluntary Humanitarian Return (VHR) programme for the year 2023.
A third batch of 134 Ghanaian nationals were repatriated from the city of Misrata voluntarily to Ghana on 10 October, 2023 under the same programme.
This brings the total number of Ghanaian nationals who had benefited from the VHR programme in 2023 to 629.
Priority was given to persons in detention centres, sick persons, families with children, stranded persons and destitutes who needed assistance to return to Ghana.
