Somali refugees sleep in a hut after they survived a boat capsize off the southern Yemeni area of Rada September 24, 2008. Yemeni officials said five women and a child drowned after the boat, carrying around 120 people capsized on Wednesday. Eighty-six people made it to shore alive and 18 were missing. Fighting in Somalia and new smuggling routes to Yemen lead hundreds of people to risk their lives by crossing the Gulf of Aden on small boats run by smugglers. REUTERS/Khaled Abdullah (YEMEN)
