The first, voluntary repatriation of 68 Myanmar refugees from camps along the Thai-Myanmar border began on Tuesday, Reuters reported on 26 October.The return of the refugees is the first to receive endorsement from the Thai and Myanmar governments, the UNHCR said.
The return began on Tuesday with one family leaving a camp in the western province of Ratchaburi. Dozens more from Nupo Camp in Thailand's western Tak province will follow today, the report said quoting Iain Hall, UNHCR's senior field coordinator.
There are around 103,000 refugees and internally displaced people living in the nine camps along the border.
