Additional Allowance For Students Stranded In China

The Ministry of International Affairs and Cooperation said in a statement that this is part of the efforts to alleviate the plight of the students, while working on an evacuation plan. Currently, there are 31 Batswana students in Wuhan City. The students and their parents have been pleading with the government to evacuate them from the city, which has been put under lockdown since the outbreak of coronavirus.

While the Botswana and Chinese governments have reiterated that the students are receiving assistance, the students have complained consistently saying they are not receiving enough help.
