At least 56 dead as smugglers throw 300 migrants into Yemen sea

  • 7 years ago
At least 56 people have drowned in two separate incidents on August 9th and 10th, and dozens remain missing, after human traffickers forced some 300 African migrants off two Yemen-bound boats and into the sea. Survivors -- all Ethiopian and Somali migrants -- managed to make their way to Shabwa, a southern province along Yemen's Arabian Sea coastline, the International Organization for Migration said.
