Only 55 of the migrants colonists were on the UNHCR list, said a local official at the detention center who requested not to be named.

It was not immediately clear where they intended to go.

Following their departure, about 110 other migrants colonists remain at the center, lying in the open air and using mattresses for shelter from the sun, the official said.
