SAN'A, Yemen -- Authorities in Yemen said yesterday that the bodies of 24 Somalis have washed ashore following an accident.
Yemen's Interior Ministry has not released details on what caused the accident, but it said that strong winds pushed the bodies onto beaches near the town of al-Qasha'a. It is thought that 184 more Somalis involved in the accident managed to swim ashore.
Hundreds of Africans die every year trying to reach Yemen, with many drowning or being attacked by pirates.
