Ten Somali and Eritrean immigrants yesterday left Malta to begin a new life in the US.

Since the start of the Permanent Refugee Resettlement Programme, just over a year ago, the American Embassy in Malta has helped more than 260 migrants to resettle in the US.

Jason Davis, embassy chargé d'affaires, said all refugees were assigned a sponsor agency in the US that provided initial services such as housing, food and clothing, referral to medical care, employment services and other support during the transition period to self-sufficiency.

These services assist refugees with the process of integration and cultural assimilation.
