In response to the disaster, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) deployed teams on the ground alongside local authorities to deliver emergency assistance to those affected.
According to United Nations reporting, this route is part of a larger migration pattern where tens of thousands of individuals from the Horn of Africa travel through Djibouti annually. These migrants attempt to cross the Bab el-Mandeb Strait into Yemen with the ultimate goal of reaching Gulf countries.
