He stressed finding solutions to face this phenomenon and tackling prime reasons behind influx of illegal refugees from the Horn of Africa to Yemen, which include conflicts and economic and social challenges, as well as propagandas for misleading migrants.

For his part, the UN official said the organization made field visit and provided necessary humanitarian materials to illegal migrants in coordination with foreign ministry and concerned bodies.

He made it clear that the first batch of migrants will be departed through direct flights from Aden to their countries, confirming organization's commitment for continuous work and cooperation with the government for helping Yemen face this problem.
