An investigation is underway into the death of 25 migrants whose bodies have been recovered off Yemen after the boat that they were travelling on capsized with close to 200 people on board.
Fishermen who found the bodies told AFP that they were floating in the waters of Ras al-Ara in the southern province of Lahij, an area so rife with human trafficking that local people have named it the “Gate of Hell”.
According to RTE, “The boat overturned two days ago and was carrying between 160 and 200 people,” claims Jalil Ahmed Ali from the Lahij provincial authority.
