Over the weekend, Israel launched massive airstrikes towards Dahieh, a neighborhood near the Migrant Workers Office , or the DMW’s satellite office in Beirut. A total of 63 overseas Filipino workers were staying at the MWO. Fifteen OFWs were supposed to leave on September 25, but weren’t able to go because of flight cancellations due to recent explosions. In this batch, three are set to go home on October 11, including one with a medical condition, while the remaining 12 will join another batch of 17 set to return to the Philippines on October 22.
Like other repatriated OFWs from conflict zones, the incoming repatriates will be given financial aid among other forms of assistance once they arrive home, the DMW said.
