OFWs in Iraq ordered to get out ASAP

It’s getting too dangerous for them there.

The Department of Foreign Affairs has ordered the mandatory repatriation of all Filipinos in Iraq after raising Alert Level 4 over the war-torn Middle East country, except the Kurdistan region,” reports InterAksyon.com.

In a statement, the DFA said, “Filipinos in Iraq will be assisted by the Philippine embassy in Baghdad and the Rapid Response Team, which are currently undertaking registration of overseas Filipino workers for repatriation.”

The report said that “the government will shoulder all repatriation expenses.”
