Some Iraqis frustrated by the asylum process in Germany have given up, voluntarily returning to Iraq.
It's not yet a flood but a steady stream of Iraqi asylum seekers in Germany are going home.
Frustrated by the protracted asylum process and miserable conditions at shelters, they've decided they're better off returning to their war-torn country.
Long lines like these at the Office for Health and Social Affairs where the migrants were required to register contributed to the frustration.
Almost 3,000 Iraqis applied for asylum in Germany last year.
Germany says the number of them choosing to return began climbing in September.
Now Iraqi Airways offers three flights per week.
Many of the passengers are travelling on one-way travel documents, issued after they either lost or destroyed their old passports.
