At least 70 bodies of migrants were discovered on Monday along the Yemeni coast near Yakhtul, north of Mokha, according to a Yemeni government official.
This tragic finding follows a report from the International Organization for Migration (IOM), which stated on Friday that 186 people were missing after four migrant boats sank off the coasts of Yemen and Djibouti.
The official warned that the death toll could rise as search operations continue along the shoreline, with local fishermen assisting authorities in recovering bodies.
The IOM reported that the perilous migration route from the Horn of Africa to Yemen claimed 558 lives in 2024, urging immediate action to prevent further loss of life.
According to UN reports, 60,897 African migrants made the dangerous maritime journey to Yemen in 2024.
