Yemeni refugees in Jeju Island, South Korea
Yemeni asylum seeker Mahmood, 21, sits in a room at the Olle Hotel in Jeju Isand, South Korea on June 28, 2018. Yemeni refugee applicants have been flying to Malaysia, where foreigners can stay for up to 90 days without a visa, before moving on to Jeju, which had a visa waiver program to encourage tourism. Some 549 people have submitted applications and 486 are staying on the island, waiting for the government’s decision which could take up to 3 months. (Photo by Chris Jung/NurPhoto)
