At least 109 migrants dead after boat capsizes off Djibouti

Original: naufragio

At least 109 migrants have died after the boat they were travelling in capsized off the coast of Djibouti, according to Italian outlet Il Post. The victims were migrants attempting the hazardous route across the Gulf of Aden toward the Arabian Peninsula. Djibouti is a common transit point on one of the world's most dangerous migration routes, and the death toll makes this one of the deadliest such incidents in recent months.

Why now: The high death toll in a single shipwreck has drawn international attention to the dangers faced by migrants on the East African route.
