Yemen: Over 90 Dead in Migrant Boat Sinking

At least 90 people have died after a boat carrying 157 migrants sank off the coast of Yemen. The boat, mainly carrying Ethiopian migrants, was heading towards Abyan province, a common destination for smugglers.

The International Organization for Migration (IOM) expects the death toll to rise. Migrants from the Horn of Africa often undertake perilous journeys to Yemen, hoping to reach Gulf countries.

Yemeni security forces previously reported 76 deaths and 32 survivors.
