Full Story

On August 4, 2025, the UN’s International Organization for Migration confirmed that a smuggler vessel carrying 154 Ethiopian migrants sank near Yemen’s Abyan province, likely due to violent weather and strong currents at sea. Only 12 survivors are estimated; 68 deaths confirmed, and around 74 remain unaccounted for. Global NewsBusiness StandardThe Guardian

Humanitarian groups condemned the tragedy, pointing to the ongoing crisis in the Gulf of Aden migration route, where overcrowded boats and poor safety standards have led to repeated mass casualties. The incident has amplified calls for enhanced maritime rescue and intervention strategies. Global NewsThe Guardian

This marks one of the worst recent migrant disasters off Yemen, where efforts to intercept crossings are often hindered by lawlessness and limited search-and-rescue infrastructure. Aid agencies emphasize the urgent need for coordinated international action to prevent further loss of life
