Increasing Numbers of Stranded Migrants Dying on Yemeni-Saudi Border

Thirty migrants stranded on Yemen's border with Saudi Arabia have died in recent weeks according to IOM partners. The latest death on Tuesday highlights the urgent need to help the growing numbers of irregular migrants left there in a desperate situation.


Stranded in the border town of Haradh, many of the migrants are in extremely poor health after having made the extremely long and perilous journey, mainly from Ethiopia, Somali or Sudan en route to the Gulf or beyond. An increasing number of them have been deported from Saudi Arabia and left at Haradh with nothing more than the clothes they stand in.
