The UN Refugee Agency, UNHCR, and its partners have helped 6,273 Somali refugees return home from Yemen since 2017. In this latest departure, a boat carrying 150 Somali refugees left the Port of Aden last night and arrived at the Port of Berbera on Sunday 10 September. The voluntary returns are part of UNHCR’s Assisted Spontaneous Return (ASR) programme. For the first time, 26 Somali refugees residing in the north of the country were assisted to join this boat departure.
