Influx of Somali refugees to Yemen continues
SANA'A, April 15 (Saba) - Around 63 Somali refugees have reached
Thubab coast, Taiz province, with unknown boat, Ministry of
Interior's media center has reported.
Security forces in collaboration with Yemeni Red Crescent
Organization gathered them to send them later to Kharaz camp for
refugees in Lahj.
Thubab still the only coast receives Somali refugees with daily rate
of 40-70, said local security forces.
Worth noting that other coast Yemeni governorates have not witnessed
any influx of refugees during the past few days.
The number of African refugees, mostly Somalis in Yemen, is
exceeding 800.000. They put more burdens on the country's fragile
economy.
