Members of the Somaliland coastguard rescued a ship carrying 77 Somali passengers including16 children. The ship is said to have developed mechanical problems and got into difficulties at high seas off the coast of Zeila, 270km north of Berbera. After their distress call was answered, they told the Somaliland coastguard that they were fleeing the violent unrest currently sweeping Yemen.

 

The coastguard and some members of the international anti-piracy task forces in the Gulf of Aden were able reach them and deliver much needed supplies including food and water.

 

After being stranded for five days, their ship was pulled by another big ship and safely docked this morning (6 AM East African Time) at the port of Berbera. They were warmly welcomed by relatives and members of the government including Mr Abdullahi J. Osman, Minister of Fisheries and Marine Resources.

 

Upon arrival, they thanked the government, coastguards and the Berbera port authority for their support. They urged other Somalis fleeing Yemen to consider taking airplanes.
