In the early hours of Thursday, a second repatriation flight from Morocco landed at the Amsterdam Airport Schiphol. The plane, chartered by the Netherlands, flew 300 people home, particularly those with medical and social emergencies who asked for their urgent repatriation.
According to the Dutch Embassy, the plane left Casablanca last night, with Dutch and Moroccan dual-nationals that were stranded in several cities across the country.
A previous repatriation flight from Morocco took place at the end of April and other planes could be chartered in the coming days. According to the Association of Dutch-Moroccans (SMN), almost 2,400 people remain stranded in Morocco away from their regular place of residence.
Other nationals from Morocco were previously repatriated, including Belgian-Moroccans, on May 1 and 2. While some of these have been able to return to Belgium, after several administrative difficulties, others are still blocked pending new flights, which have not yet been officially announced.
For their part, Spanish nationals stranded in Morocco are expected to leave via a flight scheduled for Thursday. Moroccan-Spanish people who remained uncertain as to whether this procedure is valid for them observed a sit-in at the start of the week.
For their part, nationals wishing to join France are waiting for boat trips on May 12 and 16, in case they are not included in the two flights operated from Morocco on Wednesday.
Italy, which announced on April 17 the possibility of repatriating Italians, dual-nationals and Moroccans residing in the country, announced that flights and ferries would be mobilized for this purpose. However, the dates of these trips have not yet been released.
