The Lindela Repatriation Centre in South Africa is struggling to handle a rising number of migrants seeking to return home. Last week, officials turned away two buses carrying Malawian nationals after the facility reportedly reached full capacity. The incident comes amid emerging reports of poor living conditions and hunger at the centre. Migrants fleeing South Africa have overwhelmed the site, leaving staff unable to provide adequate shelter or food.
