The UN High Commissioner for Refugees （UNHCR） said over 30，000 refugees and migrants has arrived Yemen this year， the majority of them are Ethiopians， with the rest coming from Somalia and other African countries.
Since 2006， close to half a million people have arrived in Yemen by taking the boat journey from the Horn of Africa. The country now hosts more than 242，000 refugees.
“Yemen is a historical transit hub for migrants and stands out in the region for its hospitality towards refugees，” said Adrian Edwards， the agency’s spokesperson， told reporters in Geneva.
Mr. Edwards noted that recorded arrivals in Yemen of refugees， asylum-seekers and migrants have been rising in each of the past six years.
“Conflict and instability in Yemen have limited the ability of the authorities to address trafficking， particularly along the Red Sea coast where Yemeni smugglers and traffickers are often waiting to receive new arrivals from the Horn of Africa，” said Mr. Edwards.
“However， recently the Government has been active in detecting smuggler hideouts and taking action，” he added.
