Ethiopian migrants return home from Yemen with IOM support in the aftermath of tragic shipwreck
One hundred and sixty Ethiopian migrants returned home safe and sound from Yemen today with help from the International Organization for Migration (IOM), just a day after a perilous journey across the Gulf of Aden claimed their lives to dozens of people, including at least 16 children. More than 32,000 migrants, mostly from Ethiopia, remain stranded across Yemen in dire, often fatal, circumstances. “The conditions of the stranded migrants in Yemen have become so tragic that many feel they have no choice but to rely on the smugglers to get home,” said Jeffrey Labovitz, director of operations and emergencies at the ‘IOM. At least 42 people returning from Yemen are believed to have died on Monday when their ship sank off Djibouti. Last month, at least 20 people also drowned on the same route according to survivors.
