At Least 13 Migrants Die After Boat Sinks Near Yemen

HeadlineAug 26, 2024

At least 13 migrants are dead after their boat sank off the coast of Yemen. Authorities are searching for over a dozen others who’ve been missing since last week, according to the International Organization for Migration. The boat had departed from Djibouti, in East Africa, carrying 25 Ethiopian and two Yemeni migrants. Annually, tens of thousands of migrants depart from the Horn of Africa fleeing conflict, extreme poverty and the impacts of the climate crisis, setting off on a dangerous journey across the Red Sea, many with the hope of reaching wealthier nations in the Gulf.
