Yemeni returnees counted(Jun 2013 - Sep 2014)
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) domestic labor market restructuring (Nitaqat changes) resulted in massive returns of foreign migrant workers since April 2013. Most affected is Yemen, due to the immediate land proximity with KSA, from where returns are easier to effect. Most Yemeni migrants are returned through the Border Crossing Point (BCP) of Al Tuwal, approximately 10km north of Haradh in Hajjah Governorate. Once at Al Tuwal, many require urgent humanitarian assistance. At the Ministry of Expatriates' request, IOM started providing emergency health care and stabilization, food, water and material assistance to the most needy, notably sick and injured return-ees as they are offloaded at the border as of September 2013. Since October 2013, IOM also monitors the flow of returnees at Al Tuwal. Between October 2013 and September 2014, IOM interviewed 57,965 migrants, approximately 13.8% of the daily flow. The two charts in the second column depict a correlation between migrants’ length of stay in KSA and their engagement in work. When migrants are able to remain in KSA more than a month, they are more likely to engage in work, and possibly remit money. The proportion of money senders throughout 2014 has remained constant at 26% (until November 2013, it was over 50%). Contrary to expectations, Yemeni migrants go back to KSA irrespective of unfavorable circumstances, among them 26% keep remitting money.
