Original: 109 Including 15 Children Dead, Over 116 Missing in Deadliest Shipwreck off Djibouti
At least 109 people, including 15 children, have died and more than 116 remain missing after the deadliest recorded shipwreck off the coast of Djibouti, according to the International Organization for Migration. The vessel was carrying migrants attempting the dangerous crossing of the Red Sea toward the Arabian Peninsula, a route long used by people fleeing conflict and poverty in the Horn of Africa.
Why now: The scale of the death toll, with many children among the victims, has drawn urgent attention to one of the world's most dangerous migration routes.
