IOM ties climate change to migration as 109 die off Djibouti
Original: IOM links climate change to migration crisis as 109 perish in Djibouti sea tragedy
The International Organization for Migration says climate change is driving a growing migration crisis after 109 people died when a boat sank off the coast of Djibouti. The victims were reportedly migrants attempting the dangerous crossing of the Red Sea toward the Arabian Peninsula. The agency is calling attention to worsening droughts and environmental pressures pushing people from the Horn of Africa onto deadly routes.
Why now: The deadly shipwreck has renewed attention on climate-driven migration in the Horn of Africa.
