IOM is currently assisting the authorities in the Dominican Republic with identifying and assessing a group of 54 unaccompanied Haitian minors who are victims of trafficking.
IOM is also providing food, clothing, and non-food items and will carry out family tracing and family reunification if necessary.
The group was rescued by the Dominican authorities on 16th of May, when the police broke up a human trafficking ring which was exploiting the children by forcing them to beg on street corners in the capital, Santo Domingo.
