PORTLAND, Jamaica— Another group of Haitian refugees numbering about 30, arrived at Long Bay, Portland on Sunday afternoon.
The authorities have so far been able to round up about 20 of them, Observer Online was told.
The authorities suspect that some of them were among the group of refugees that landed here in September and were sent back.
In July, 37 Haitians landed on Boston Beach in Portland. They have since applied for asylum in Jamaica.
Haiti has been mired for years in intertwining economic, security and political crises, resulting in thousands of citizens fleeing the country.
The assassination of President Jovenel Moise in 2021 has dramatically worsened the situation, with gangs taking an increasingly strong hold in the impoverished nation of 11 million people.
