At least 139 migrants dead, dozens missing after boat capsizes off Djibouti coast

At least 139 migrants, including children, died after their boat capsized off the Djibouti coast while traveling to Yemen. The IOM stated the vessel sank primarily because it was overcrowded. The incident occurred between Thursday night and Friday morning. While dozens of people remain missing, more than 80 survivors were rescued, all of whom are Ethiopian nationals. This tragedy highlights the extreme risks associated with overcrowded migrant transport routes between Djibouti and Yemen.
