During a visit to the Gashora transit centre, the European Union ambassador to Rwanda announces €22 million in renewed funding until 2026 in support of the country's hosting of refugees transferred from Libya. In 2019, Rwanda signed an agreement with UNHCR to evacuate refugees and asylum seekers in need of international protection from Libya to Rwanda. Since September 2019, the UNHCR has evacuated about 1,500 refugees and asylum seekers from Libya. Of these, more than 900 have since left Rwanda to resettle in other countries, the majority in EU countries, including Sweden, France, Belgium and Finland. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
