The painful event took place on June 5, when in Yemen, probably a boat carrying about one and a half hundred passengers stopped smugglers in the Middle Ages and after that many people were pushed into the water.
At least eight people were killed in the incident and 22 were still missing.
“These youths were forced to choose an impossible alternative,” said Selestin Frantz, director of the UN Migration Agency (IOM) in the East, Horn and South Africa.
“Insani life is not important for smuggling.
Rescue operation
Five companies were recovered from the sea near the northern part of Djibouti during the search and rescue operation with the help of UN Migration Agency.
The killing of eight people has been confirmed so far, but the number may increase as the search is still underway.
IOM says that in the days of the accident, many surviving people met with the UN organization’s mobile team in the desert. He is now being provided immediate medical assistance at the local hospital and is also provided with mental and mental assistance at the IOM migrant assistance center.
Thousands of immigrants every year tried to reach the Gulf countries from the horn regions of Africa (other countries including Ethiopia, Somalia and Arria). Here they are transferred in the hope of employment.
Risky travel route
According to IOM data, 2 272 people have been confirmed this year, along with Yemen on the eastern Mediterranean route. It includes cases of land and water routes.
The IOM says, “The tragedy, near the coast of Djibouti, is a link to another tragedy, which highlights the immediate requirement of a powerful conservation system to protect immigrants on immigration routes in Africa and Yemen.”
The UN agency has warned that the recent event is part of the growing crisis. At the same time, the international community has applied that cooperation and assistance should be increased to strengthen search and rescue activities and increase access to safe immigration routes.
In another case, IOM reported that 10 immigrant bodies were found on the beach near the Marsa Matara region in Egypt. It is believed that all these immigrants moved from the coast of Libya, which are often used for human trafficking, especially for those who try to reach Europe by crossing the Mediterranean Sea.
According to the missing immigrant project of the IOM, more than 12,000 people have died and a large number of people are expected to disappear due to sinking in the Mediterranean.
