Almost 10,000 undocumented Haitians living in the Dominican Republic have returned to their country, as reported in Haiti Libre. The media cites data collected by a joint monitoring work from three human rights organizations working at the border: the Support Group for Returnees and Refugees (GARR), the Jesuit Refugee and Migrants Service (JRS), the Jeannot Success Border Network (RFJS) and the International Organization for Migration (IOM).
As reported, during November 2015, 9,012 Haitians with irregular migratory status living in the Dominican Republic have returned to Haiti. This involved 3,191 repatriations and 5,821 voluntary returns.
This figure included 174 unaccompanied minors, most of who were living in Las Matas de Farfan, Santo Domingo, Santiago and San Juan de la Maguana. The number of Haitians repatriated by Dominican immigration authorities was down for the month of November by 25% on October when there were 4,344 repatriations.
There has also been a significant increase in voluntary returns in November compared to the previous month, with an increase of 47% over October this year when there were 3,053.
