Over 50 migrants perished when their boat capsized off Yemen's coast on Sunday. The vessel, carrying approximately 150 people, sank in the Gulf of Aden due to bad weather. Only 10 survivors were rescued, with dozens still missing. The International Organization for Migration (IOM) described the incident as heartbreaking and highlighted the perilous journey undertaken by migrants from the Horn of Africa seeking work in Gulf Arab states. The IOM emphasizes the need for increased protection and safer passage for migrants, citing the recklessness of smugglers who exploit vulnerable individuals.
