Home Office officials organized a pregnancy scan for her after she arrived in the UK on a small boat in July. She was also transferred from one hotel to another after becoming ill with pregnancy-related nausea at the first hotel. She applied for a pregnancy grant from the Home Office to buy nutritious food for herself and her unborn baby, but was told the hotel she was staying at could provide her with suitable food. The woman, who uses the pseudonym Delina, said she was “really scared” of what might happen to her and her baby if she was forcibly taken to Rwanda. She lived in an informal refugee camp in Calais for eight months before traveling to the UK on a boat and struggled to survive there as a homeless young woman. He has spent decades searching for security. She left Eritrea at the age of three with her mother after her father was killed by the government. Her mother took her first to Sudan and later to Lebanon. She has no family members left. “I haven’t been able to sleep since I got the Rwanda alert,” he said. Clare Moseley, founder of the woman’s charity Care4Calais, said of the Home Office’s decision to withdraw the letter threatening to send the woman to Rwanda: “The Home Office knew our client was pregnant but issued a notice on Rwanda. It has now stood down after the Home Office was publicly shamed, which is a relief for the woman, but shocking that it happened at all. “Rwanda’s plan is brutal. It is not safe or suitable for any human being and the government should withdraw this plan now.” A Home Office spokesman said: “We urgently checked this case and found that the letter was sent in error. It has now been fixed and we apologize. “Everyone in the field of relocation to Rwanda will be assessed individually and no one will be relocated if it is unsafe or unsuitable for them.”
