A total of 99 Filipinos from Kuwait have safely returned to the Philippines as tensions continue in the Middle East.
In a social media post, the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA) said that due to limited flights and closed airspace, the Filipinos were transported from Kuwait to Saudi Arabia to secure flights back home.
Upon arrival in the Philippines, they were provided assistance by OWWA and the Department of Migrant Workers (DMW), including food, transportation, temporary shelter, and other support services.
OWWA assured that the returning Filipinos are being well taken care of and that the agency remains on standby to ensure their safe return.
Aside from this group, the agency said another batch of 99 Filipinos is expected to arrive on Tuesday, while nearly 200 more are set to return on Thursday.
