Three non-governmental organisations all report that the numbers of immigrants returning home has increased dramatically recently.

The number of non-EU immigrants who have previously sought asylum and refuge in Spain and who now want to leave the country and return home has increased dramatically over recent months.

The Red Cross, the International Migration Organisation (OIM) and the Spanish Catholic Migration Commission (ACCEM) all report that the number of voluntary returnees has increased. Those immigrants who choose to return and do not have the means to do so are helped by such organisations which can, for example pay for the trip.

So far this year the Red Cross alone has helped 238 people to return.
