UN seeks probe into refugee boat attack off Yemen’s coast
‘The United Nations called Monday for an inquiry into last week’s attack on a boat off Yemen’s coast that killed 44 people, mostly Somali refugees.
“Many questions remain unanswered on the circumstances of this horrific event,” the head of the UN refugee agency, Filippo Grandi, said in a statement.
“We call on all parties to the conflict to make proper inquiries to ensure accountability and to prevent this from happening again,” he added.
