Global Airways has confirmed that 153 Palestinians seeking refugee status in South Africa, who travelled on a charter flight from Nairobi, Kenya, to Johannesburg, have been denied entry to South Africa.
The local airline says, as per South African immigration laws, it had shared the list of passengers and their travel credentials with the relevant South African authorities 24 hours before the charter flights departure.
Gift of the Givers facilitated the humanitarian effort with other civil society partners and will provide further assistance, legal and medical care.
