MRRM program has a component of direct assistance for the stranded migrants on the Nigerien territory who wish to go back to their home country. The assistance includes primary health services at the IOM transit centers and referral to the local health structures, however, we face sometimes, the situation that migrants with severe health condition cannot make to return home but decease in Niger. For the migrants whose health condition is critical, the IOM transit center health and protection colleagues try to facilitate as much as possible to let the migrants contact their family members if they would like to, and to receive their family contacts. Sometimes, the respective embassies and consulates request to meet their citizens with severe medical conditions, and if the migrants wish to be contacted, IOM also facilitates their meetings. In case migrants pass away during the assistance in Niger, IOM Niger informs the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Niger about the deaths of the migrants, respecting the nationalities that were declared upon the registration with IOM in order for the ministry to inform the respective representatives of their countries of origin. IOM health unit also contacts the IOM country offices to inform the death, requesting to inform the families if the family contacts were known, and to provide us the authorization of burial in the locality where the death occurs since the repatriation of bodies is not feasible from Niger. The burial is followed in the modality of the believes of the migrants/family members (ex. Muslim or Christian way), and accompanied by their compatriots, other migrants and center staff. When the family wishes, we send the photos of the funeral. When possible, the belongings of the deceased migrants are also sent to the family members, however, since the COVID-19 pandemic, this has been quite a challenge to send back the belongings. All these actions above are done within the MRRM finance. With the national authority, IOM has been seeking to support the management of deaths of non-Nigeriens in the Nigerien territory and IOM will be included for the meetings/discussions once the national multi-disciplinary committee on the mortal remains’ management, created in March 2022.
