The boats, carrying refugees and migrants from Africa, tragically sank off the coast of Djibouti, resulting in at least 45 confirmed deaths and many missing.
The International Organization for Migration reported that the vessels left Yemen with 310 individuals on board; thus far, search and rescue operations have located 115 survivors.
The coastguard reported the wreck occurred just 150 meters from a beach, indicating the proximity of this tragedy to land and highlighting the dangers of such migration routes.
Humanitarian organizations note the Red Sea route is heavily trafficked, with tens of thousands seeking better futures, underscoring the persistent risks faced by migrants.
