UN Reports Bodies of 15 Migrants Found Off Yemen Coast
In a tragic incident, the United Nations has reported that the bodies of 15 migrants were discovered off the coast of Yemen.
This unfortunate event is part of a larger crisis involving migrant boats capsizing in the region.
The International Organization for Migration (IOM) has highlighted the perilous nature of migration routes across the Gulf of Aden and the Red Sea, which serve as transit paths for thousands of migrants every year.
The recent capsizing incidents have left at least two people dead and 186 others missing.
The boats, carrying migrants from Africa, capsized in waters off Yemen and Djibouti. Strong winds and high waves were cited as contributing factors to the accidents. The IOM has emphasized the need for adequate protection and safe alternatives for migrants to prevent further loss of life.
The search for the missing individuals continues, though hopes of finding additional survivors are fading. The IOM has called for urgent action to address the dangers faced by migrants and to provide safer migration pathways.
