A boat carrying 260 migrants sank off Yemen's coast on Monday, killing at least 49 people and leaving 140 others missing, the United Nations' international migration agency said Tuesday. The IOM said at the time it had recorded a total of 1,350 deaths on the migration route since 2014, not including this year. Those migrants who successfully reach Yemen often encounter further threats to their safety.
