![]() According to the reports, the police suspected that the victims were being transported to South Africa via Malawi. So far, we have discovered 25 bodies,” Peter Kalaya, police spokesperson, as saying. “The grave was discovered late on Tuesday but we cordoned it off and started exhuming today. Last year, the Malawi police discovered 25 migrants who are suspected to be of Ethiopian descent dead in a mass grave. In February 2022, IOM launched a 84 million USD appeal to support over 1 million migrants in the Horn of Africa.Įthiopian migrants seeking for a better life are often caught up in deadly routes. This will leave thousands of migrants annually without access to basic healthcare, information, clothing, water, food, temporary housing, and a humane, safe, and dignified option for returning home voluntarily. By June 2023, the Organization will be compelled to stop funding two Migrant Response Centers unless donors significantly increase their contributions. IOM said it is facing significant funding gaps to assist migrants in Somalia. An estimated 27 percent of them traveled through or from Somalia. IOM recorded 21,469 migrants entering Yemen between January and February of this year, compared to 14,298 entrances in the same period last year. Populations have suffered from decades of shocks and need more options to sustain their livelihoods and access opportunities,” said Celestin.ĭespite these dangers, the number of migrants taking the Eastern Route is on the rise. “IOM calls for safer and more legal pathways for people in the Horn of Africa to migrate regularly. Rape, deaths, and killings at the hands of smugglers and at times by authorities are also a reality in what is arguably considered one of the most dangerous migratory routes on earth. Migrants taking the Eastern Route face serious risks, including extortion, detention, kidnapping, modern slavery, and physical abuse. The Eastern route, which is mostly used by Ethiopians and Somalis fleeing unstable economic conditions, violence, and climatic catastrophes like the present drought, is the main migration route out of the Horn of Africa via Somalia or Djibouti to Yemen and frequently further to Saudi Arabia. Yet, due to security and financial issues, many deaths go unreported. The IOM’s Missing Migrants Project, including this latest incident, has documented the deaths and disappearances of more than 1,100 people traveling from Eastern Africa to Yemen and Saudi Arabia on the “Eastern Route” since 2019.Īlthough more than 50,000 persons have been reported missing by families after leaving their home country since 2015 alone, the number of confirmed deaths given by IOM is almost probably an underestimate, said IOM. “We sent most of the medical supplies we had in stock at the Migrant Response Center (MRC) in Bosaso and our teams are providing physiological support to those injured,” said Frantz Celestin, IOM Somalia Chief of Mission. IOM has mobilized available resources to support the hospital in providing treatment to the victims. Local communities brought the corpses and seriously injured migrants to Bosaso General Hospital, which is said to be treating patients beyond its capacity, says IOM.
