More than 400 Ghanaians stranded at medical facility in Dubai repatriated

In a statement it said the recent evacuation involves eighty of its compatriots with the assistance of the Mohammed Bin Rashid Al-Maktoum Humanitarian and Charity Establishment in Dubai between October 24 and 27, 2022 via Ethiopian Airlines.

Additionally, twenty Ghanaians were evacuated with the support of individuals and friend of the government, Abdul Razaak-Daheer in September, 2022.

The Ministry wishes to extent its appreciation to all those who assisted the stranded Ghanaians for their kind gesture.

It reiterates that the ban on direct-to-home recruitment of Ghanaian labour migrants known as ‘’house helps’’ to homes on the Gulf State remains in force until further notice.

“The ban however does not affect the lawful recruitment of skilled workers to the Gulf States.” the statement added.

The Ministry is advising Ghanaians to desist from embarking on journeys via illegal routes to various parts of the world since this always has unfortunate outcomes.
