A Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) team assisting refugees and migrants who cross the Gulf of Aden encountered on Dec. 15, 56 dead bodies near Arqa, on the shore of Yemen.
When the MSF team arrived in the morning, they first found a group of 49 survivors, 10 of them women, on the shore. Further ahead were dozens of bodies washed upon a five kilometre stretch of coast. The team counted 56 bodies, more than half of them women, and five children, some very small. The survivors told the team that the boat on which they were travelling capsized and many passengers remained trapped. Hence, many more may have perished.
