Somalia: At least 30 people dead as smugglers' boat capsizes

A smugglers boat capsized off the coast of Yemen earlier this week leaving at least 30 people dead amid a recent spike in people smuggling across the Gulf of Aden from Somalia. Chief UNHCR spokesperson, Ron Redmond, told journalists in Geneva on Tuesday that at least 30 Somalis and Ethiopians died when the boat – carrying 120 people – foundered as it approached the Yemeni coast on Monday.
