- Reception facilities at Kamuzu Stadium in Blantyre provide returnees with temporary shelter, food assistance, and psychosocial support, while officials issue emergency travel documents to citizens lacking papers.
- Financial contributions can be made through the Reserve Bank of Malawi's Capital City Branch using Malawi Kwacha Account 0013000200025 or Foreign Currency Account 0013000200022, with Commissioner Moleni pledging transparency.
- Following the safe arrival of the first returnees on June 9, 2026, additional groups are expected as the rescue operation gathers momentum and the government coordinates with the Malawi High Commission in Pretoria.
