More than 50 migrants lost their lives when a boat carrying approximately 150 people went under in poor weather on Sunday off the Yemeni coast. This tragedy occurred near Yemen’s southern province of Abyan, where only 10 individuals were saved, and many others remain unfound. The International Organization for Migration (IOM) expresses deep sorrow over the incident, stating that many victims are Ethiopian nationals. Yemen is a key route for migrants from the Horn of Africa seeking employment in the Gulf Arab states. This perilous journey has seen hundreds of deaths or missing persons in recent months, according to IOM estimates.
