After receiving first aid, food, water and dry clothing, refugees who survived the crossing of the Gulf of Aden, walk across the dunes to the road where they can be picked up and taken to the reception center run by UNHCR near the village of Ahwar in southern Yemen Monday, December 1, 2008.
Desperate Measures: In 2008, the UNHCR (the UN refugee agency) recorded that more than 50,000 people arrived in Yemen, and at least 384 people have died and some 359 are missing and presumed dead while making the perilous voyage across the Gulf of Aden from Somalia. The actual number is believed to be much higher however. Most of those were Somalis fleeing the chaos and violence in their country or what is left of it.
Most news you hear about the Gulf is Yemen is about piracy in recent months and years. But true human tragedy continues in the dark of night on pristine beach of Yemen's southern coast.
