Nigerians awaiting evacuation from South Africa report being left hungry and homeless due to delays in Nigeria’s planned evacuation exercises. Both outlets describe hundreds of people waiting for the second evacuation, including women, children, and elderly individuals, who say they have exhausted their savings while waiting. The Daily Post Nigeria reports that the group raised concerns after the second evacuation exercise is delayed, leaving them in severe conditions. The Punch similarly says that flight delays prevent their movement and have resulted in homelessness and food shortages, with many stranded for extended periods. The accounts depict people relying on limited support while they wait for the Nigerian government to carry out the evacuation. While the reports focus on the humanitarian impact of the delays, they do not provide details on the causes of the flight postponements or on the exact timing of when the next evacuation will take place. The situation is framed in the context of xenophobia and insecurity in South Africa, where evacuees are seeking return assistance from Nigeria.
