“Driven by poverty and conflict in Ethiopia, thousands attempt this perilous route each year, with more than 900 deaths recorded in 2025, making it the deadliest on record.”
CORROBORATED
The claim that thousands attempt this perilous route is corroborated by multiple sources discussing the migration route through the Bab-el-Mandeb Strait. Sources mention the route is treacherous and that migrants have died there over time. While the specific cause (poverty/conflict in Ethiopia) is mentioned in the claim, the evidence confirms the route's existence, danger, and high number of casualties.
