Report alleges satellite images show major burial sites on migrant routes, and the death toll could even be in the 'thousands'
A video shows a group of migrants walking along a steep slope inside Saudia Arabia on the trail used to cross from the migrant camp of Al Thabit.
Yemen’s Houthi rebels, who allegedly make tens of thousands of dollars a week smuggling migrants over the border, did not respond to requests for comment. Human Rights Watch said it spoke to 38 Ethiopian migrants and four relatives of people who attempted to cross the border between March 2022 and June 2023 who said they saw Saudi guards shoot at migrants or launch explosives at groups.
It also examined several hundred square kilometres of satellite imagery captured between February 2022 and July 2023.The location of alleged burial sites identified on satellite imagery close to Al Raqw migrant camp. Image: Maxar Technologies
