A group of 172 vulnerable asylum-seekers were evacuated out of Libya by UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency. For now, their destination is Niger - to a facility known as the Emergency Transit Mechanism (ETM), where they will find safety and support. This was the first evacuation flight to Niger in more than a year, following a ban on humanitarian flights.
