| Thousands make dangerous crossing from Somalia to Yemen |
| 2006-10-28 |

The United Nations has warned the situation is a tragedy. It has described the people-trafficking industry as "murder at sea". Yet we have evidence that the international efforts to protect and house the Somali refugees are proving woefully inadequate. |
