At 54 people died when a boat carrying 150 people sank off Yemen\u2019s coast in bad weather on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Many people remain unaccounted for, per health officials.<\/p>\n

The boat capsized off the Ahwar district in Yemen\u2019s southern Abyan province on the Arabian Sea, security sources said.<\/p>\n

Abdul Qadir Bajameel, a health official, stated that 10 of the 150 people on the vessel were saved, including 9 Ethiopians and a Yemeni, but dozens are still missing.<\/p>\n

Two medics said rescuers were still searching for survivors.<\/p>\n

The International Organisation for Migration said that Yemen is witnessing a rise in the influx of irregular migrants arriving from Africa.<\/p>\n

Migrants cross the Bab al-Mandeb Strait that separates Djibouti and Eritrea from Yemen every year on flimsy boats to reach Saudi Arabia and other Gulf nations in the hope of finding work.<\/p>\n

The IOM also described the route from the Horn of Africa to Yemen as one of the world\u2019s busiest and most dangerous mixed migration routes.<\/p>\n

It is recorded that over 60,000 migrants arrived in Yemen in 2024.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
