A migrant boat sank off the coast of Djibouti, leaving at least 139 people dead and 84 others missing, according to reporting by RFI. The victims were migrants travelling the route toward the Arabian Peninsula, via Yemen. The high death toll makes it one of the deadliest such disasters on this migration corridor in recent memory, drawing attention to the dangers faced by migrants crossing the Gulf of Aden.
Why now: The exceptionally high death toll in a single shipwreck on a major migration route has drawn international attention
