Nearly 34 Indian nurses are being evacuated from strife-torn Libya by the government and the first batch of 12 will arrive on Thursday in Kochi.
“A group of 12 Indian nurses are on their way from Tunisia and will arrive in Kochi tomorrow. Another batch of 22 nurses is also on their way from Tunisia and are likely to arrive in Kochi on 18th December,” External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Syed Akbaruddin said.
The government has already evacuated nearly 3000 nationals from Libya after the second round of violence, which started early this year.
