The International Organization for Migration announced, on Monday, its intention to work in the regions of the West Coast in order to provide services to migrants and displaced alike.
The head of the organization’s delegation, who is visiting Mocha, Riz Gonzalez, said during his meeting with the local authority, that the visit aims to assess the needs of the displaced in terms of shelter and camp coordination management and to know the priorities required for support operations.
For his part, the Secretary General of the District's Local Council, Al-Ansi Zaid Al-Habbas, said that the migrants' dilemma, along with the displacement problem, exacerbated each other, which constituted a heavy burden on the directorate and the local authority in developing possible remedies.
He pointed out that the local authority has a lot of hope that the immediate visit to international migration will begin to start implementing solutions and solutions based on his previous meeting with the head of the team who visited the directorate nearly two months ago.
Al-Ansi also proposed a number of solutions that the local authority could adopt, driven by compulsion, but postponed it out of its belief in the human value of the migrant and pending the role of the International Organization for Migration in coordination and cooperation.
He also said that the problem stood as a stumbling block in front of some development projects that could be adopted in the directorate, such as rehabilitating the old market, as it has become a residential place inhabited by some immigrants.
He stressed that the local authority showed its willingness, in coordination with the neighboring directorates burdened with the same problems, to define a region of land from which international migration would take shelter camps for African immigrants and to provide them with the necessary aid until they were returned to their countries.
For her part, the Director of the Health Office in the Directorate, Dr. Samiha Jamil, the migrants are in dire need of health care, stressing that the Mokha Hospital receives a large number of these cases, which has put the only hospital in the district that provides services to eight neighboring directorates in a critical situation and requires urgent intervention.
The organization also called for urgent intervention to solve the problem of migrants and provide them with basic health care, food, water and health supplies.
