At least 38 souls lost their lives in a heartbreaking maritime tragedy off the coast of Yemen, as a boat carrying around 250 people capsized due to fierce winds. The majority of the victims were migrants from Ethiopia, hoping to pass through Yemen to the Gulf states in search of a better life. The frantic search efforts are still ongoing for close to 100 individuals who remain unaccounted for, as local officials and residents join forces to comb the seas for any sign of survivors. The survivors, numbering 78, were plucked from the treacherous waters by fishermen and locals, with harrowing tales of how their vessel succumbed before reaching its intended destination. The United Nations has been alerted to the devastating incident, shedding light on the perilous journey many migrants undertake, often risking their lives in pursuit of a brighter future. Despite the ongoing conflict and maritime threats in the region, the flow of migrants from the Horn of Africa to Yemen shows no signs of abating, painting a grim picture of the dangers faced by those seeking asylum and opportunity.
