LEBANON: Gambian women’s return on course as over 1.1 million dalasis is spent on ticket

Distressed Gambian women in Lebanon have edged ever closer to a return to the country following the payment of their air ticket.

Lovette Jallow the Gambian woman helping them return home said on Wednesday 22,500 dollars have been used to purchase ticket for all 38 women set to return home.

“We also paid for half the lawyers fees at the same time the remaining $2500 will be paid when the women enter the flight. Tomorrow the women pick up their printed tickets with our lawyers,” Jallow said in an update on her Facebook page.

It comes a day after the government agreed to work with Jallow and her Action for Humanity organisation.

The government had initially expressed unwillingness to work with her.
