"IOM Comoros is saddened to hear about the deaths of at least 25 people after their boat was deliberately capsized by traffickers off Comoros Islands, between Anjouan and Mayotte on Friday night..."
"The survivors said the boat had carried about 30 people of different nationalities, including seven women and at least six young children..."
"...between 7,000 and 10,000 people had lost their lives trying to cross from Comoros to Mayotte between 1995 and 2012, but said this figure could be much higher."
"Many have no access to healthcare. The Muslim-majority Comoros archipelago, situated between Mozambique and Mayotte, faces significant challenges in providing welfare to its population."
