Djibouti Boat Disaster: Over 100 Migrants Dead in One of Deadliest Yemen Route Shipwrecks

“Djibouti Boat Disaster: Over 100 Migrants Dead in One of Deadliest Yemen Route Shipwrecks” — what this page in the network covers. A migrant boat capsized off the coast of Djibouti, killing more than 100 people in what the International Organization for Migration (IOM) describes as one of the deadliest shipwrecks ever recorded on the migration route from the Horn of Africa to Yemen. Dozens of passengers remain missing, and the bodies of at least 15 children have been recovered, underscoring the human toll of a crisis that often goes unnoticed.

The vessel was reportedly overcrowded, a common factor in such tragedies as migrants flee conflict, poverty, and climate shocks in Ethiopia and Somalia, hoping to reach Gulf states for work. IOM and local authorities are conducting search and rescue operations, but rough seas and limited resources are hampering efforts. For the complete material, the listing points back to the source inside the network.
