Djibouti shipwreck survivors recount ordeal

Focus on Africa

Available for over a year

Survivors of the boat accident where 139 migrants died off the coast of Djibouti have recounted their ordeals to the 麻豆社. The International Organization for Migration (IOM) reported that among those died were 15 children, marking one of the deadliest shipwrecks ever recorded on the Eastern Migration Route. The vessel was carrying 305 people, most of them Ethiopians, heading from Djibouti to Yemen. And, community safe spaces are providing critical support to help young people manage the mental stress associated with HIV, teenage pregnancy, and other structural challenges.
