More than 140 African migrants are feared dead after a boat capsized near Yemen, according to recent reports. The incident occurred along a heavily traveled but treacherous route used by many Africans seeking work in the Gulf states. The vessel, which was reportedly carrying a large number of migrants, sank in a treacher,ous part of the sea, raising concerns about the safety of the journey for migrants attempting to cross the region.
The route through Yemen is often used by migrants hoping to reach the Arabian Peninsula, where they can find work in the oil-rich countries. However, the journey is fraught with danger due to the unstable political situation in Yemen and the lack of safe passage options. The recent incident has sparked renewed calls for international action to improve migrant safety and address the root causes of migration from the region.
Local authorities and international aid organizations are now working to locate survivors and provide assistance to those affected. The incident has also drawn attention to the broader issue of migration in the region, highlighting the need for better safety measures and more humane treatment of migrants.
