The bodies of 24 migrants were brought back to the Kurdistan Region on Sunday. They drowned in the Aegean Sea on the way to Greece last month.
They were flown back to Erbil by the Kurdish government and 22 of the coffins were sent to Duhok. Two of them to the town of Koya.
Another 25 bodies are expected to be flown back next week. Most of them are from Sulaimani Province.
The Kurdistan Regional Government pays the cost of bringing back the bodies. The search still continues for many migrants whose bodies were not found after their boats capsized.
