Malawi rescue mission for 10,000 citizens

The Government of Malawi has launched a nationwide fundraising campaign to finance one of its largest humanitarian rescue operations, aiming to bring home an estimated 10,000 Malawians stranded in South Africa. The crisis follows weeks of vigilante attacks targeting foreign nationals, prompting thousands to seek safe passage home. Authorities say the scale of the crisis has overwhelmed available resources, creating significant financial, logistical, and humanitarian challenges.
