In a heartrending maritime disaster, only four survivors have been found after a boat carrying at least 45 refugees capsized off the coast of Yemen’s Taiz governorate. The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) attributed the tragedy to strong winds and severe overcrowding.
The incident, which occurred late Wednesday night, underscores the treacherous conditions faced by those making the perilous journey across the waters that separate Yemen and the Horn of Africa. This area has become a critical and dangerous route for migrants fleeing conflict and seeking better lives.
