Hundreds of Nigerians are currently stranded in South Africa due to delays in government-arranged repatriation flights. These individuals, including women, children, and the elderly, are facing severe hunger and homelessness. Many have already exhausted their financial savings while traveling from various provinces for mandatory registration and screening. The crisis stems from delays in the second batch of evacuation flights organized by the Federal Government. Consequently, the affected citizens are enduring worsening hardships while awaiting transport. The situation highlights the urgent need for the completion of the evacuation process to alleviate the suffering of those displaced by xenophobic tensions.
