Sanaa: A shipwreck off the coast of Yemen has resulted in the deaths of at least 68 individuals, according to the United Nations' migration agency. The tragedy occurred when a boat, primarily carrying Ethiopian migrants, sank in the waters.
According to France24.com, the incident has left dozens of people still unaccounted for, as search and rescue operations continue in hopes of finding survivors. The boat was reportedly carrying a large number of migrants who were attempting to make the perilous journey across the sea.
The International Organization for Migration (IOM) has expressed concern over the incident, emphasizing the risks faced by migrants undertaking such dangerous voyages.
