Forty-one people were killed after a migrant boat capsized off the coast of Yemen on Wednesday night, the UN's refugee agency has said. The tragic accident highlighted the "perilous journey" between Yemen and East Africa. The refugee agency was working with the International Organisation for Migration (IOM) to assist the survivors and provide protection. Fifty-six people died in a similar tragedy last month, when a boat capsized off the coast of Shabwah governorate, Yemen. The route to Yemen is popular, with at least 97,000 people arriving in the country from across the Horn of Africa last year.
