Foreign Affairs Ministry Repatriates Over 450 Stranded Ghanaians In Dubai
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration with the support of other humanitarian organisations in Dubai has repatriated four hundred and fifty stranded Ghanaians at the Al Tawadi Medical Centre in Dubai.
This was in reference to a press release by the Ministry on August 18, 2022, which assured Ghanaians of an update on the stranded Ghanaians at the Al Tawadi Medical Centre in Dubai.
With the support of Mohammed Bin Rashid Al-Maktoum Humanitarian and Charity Establishment in Dubai, aided by Ethiopian Airlines, Ghana evacuated about eighty stranded of her citizens between 24th and 27th October 2022.
A press release from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration indicates that “most of our compatriots who were stranded in Dubai were misled by unscrupulous agents who promised non-existent jobs in Dubai and other parts of the United Arab Emirates (UAE)”.
The Ministry has therefore advised Ghanaians to “desist from embarking on journeys via illegal routes to various parts of the world since this almost always has an unfortunate outcome”.
Moreover, the Ministry reiterated that “the ban on direct-to-home recruitment of Ghanaian labour migrants (house helps) to homes in the Gulf states remains in force until further notice.”
The press release continued to say that, however, “the ban does not affect the lawful recruitment of skilled workers (non-domestic house helps) to the Gulf states.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration has therefore extended its profound gratitude to the Mohammed Bin Rashid Al-Maktoum Humanitarian and Charity Establishment, Mr. Abdul Razak-Daheer, and all those who assisted the stranded Ghanaians in Dubai to their home country for the kind gesture.
