1,391 Vietnamese labourers return home safely from Libya
(VOV) -As of August 22, a total of 1,391 Vietnamese workers have been safely evacuated to the homeland from war-torn Libya, according to statistics released by the Ministry of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs (MoLISA).
MoLISA Department of Overseas Labour (DOLAB) also reports that six out of the eleven labour companies employing workers in Libya have brought all of their workers home.

The evacuation faced a number of obstacles due to the fact the workers were divided into small bands spread out throughout Libya. However, with the active support of Vietnamese authorities and Libyan employers, the evacuation has, thus far, been successful.
Currently, there are 40 workers remaining in Tunisia waiting for flights back home. They are expected to fly home sometime from August 23-26.
The mission should be completed by the end of August.
