Fifteen Kenyans evacuated from Iran due to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East arrived at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport on Sunday morning, the State Department for Diaspora Affairs has said.
The group was received by officials from the department led by Peter Burugu, who represented Diaspora Affairs Principal Secretary Roseline Njogu.
According to the department, the evacuees transited through Türkiye before flying back to Kenya.
On arrival, they were debriefed and provided with immediate psychosocial support before being reunited with their families.
The evacuation was facilitated by the Government of Kenya through the State Department for Diaspora Affairs and Kenya’s diplomatic missions in Tehran and Ankara, in what officials described as part of efforts to safeguard Kenyans abroad.
