Ethiopian Migrants Stranded in Northern Yemen

The International Organization for Migration is urgently appealing for $1 million to help a group of more than 1,000 Ethiopian migrants stranded in northern Yemen return home.  

The International Organization for Migration says the Ethiopian migrants, mostly young men, are stranded without food, water and shelter in the northern Yemeni border town of Haradh.

IOM spokesman Jean-Philippe Chauzy says they represent a fraction of the growing number of migrants in Haradh.  He says their desperate plight highlights an emerging humanitarian crisis on Yemen＇s border with Saudi Arabia.

"Those migrants are stranded because obviously they cannot cross the border into Saudi Arabia and they have no money, no documentation," said Chauzy. " They cannot return back to Ethiopia should they want to do so."  

"We are getting calls from those migrants, regular calls for assistance.  Overwhelmingly, those migrants want to return home.  They realize that they will not be able to go forward.  They will not be able to return home without any assistance and that is why we have organized this operation to repatriate on a voluntary basis," he added.
