183 more Bangladeshis return from Lebanon

183 more Bangladeshi nationals returned home from Lebanon amid the country’s ongoing conflict with Israel.

They returned home last night with the support of the Foreign Affairs and Expatriates’ Welfare and Overseas Employment ministries, Bangladesh mission in Beirut and International Organization for Migration (IOM).

Of these returnees, 151 arrived early this morning by Sky Vision Airlines flight SVI-5002, a chartered flight funded by the IOM, which landed at 1:00 am at the Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport (HSIA), said a foreign ministry’s press release here on Wednesday (November 6).

This recent repatriation brings the total number of Bangladeshis returnees from Lebanon to 521 by nine flights.

The IOM provided each individual with Tk 5,000, essential food supplies, and basic medical care.

The officials engaged with the returnees to hear firsthand accounts of their experiences amid the ongoing conflict.

Notably, one Bangladeshi expatriate was reportedly killed in a recent bombing incident in Lebanon.
