Addis Ababa, January 7 (Xinhua) — At least 22 migrants were killed and about 65 others were injured in a road accident in Ethiopia's northeastern Afar region on Tuesday, the regional government's press service reported.
The truck carrying migrants overturned at dawn, the statement said. The victims are currently receiving treatment at nearby medical facilities, many of whom are in critical condition.
"The truck was overcrowded with migrants who had been deceived by illegal brokers and did not understand the dangers associated with the route," the press service stated.
In recent years, desperate Ethiopian migrants have frequently attempted to cross the Red Sea from Djibouti to reach the Middle East via Yemen. Many of them are hoping to find work in Saudi Arabia.
