24 African migrants drown off coast of Yemen

Sanaa – Yemen's interior ministry says coast guards
have found the bodies of 24 African migrants whose
boat has capsized off the country's western coast.
The statement on Monday said most of the migrants
were from Ethiopia. It said search-and-rescue
operations are still underway to ascertain whether
there are survivors from the boat that capsized off
the shores of the Red Sea.
Tens of thousands of migrants make the treacherous
journey between the Horn of African and Yemen
every year, refugee organisations say.
The United Nations has documented more than 200
deaths at sea so far in 2014 — which they say
exceeds the combined totals from 2011, 2012 and
2013.
