ADDIS ABABA, Aug. 8 (Xinhua) -- The International Organization for Migration (IOM) announced on Wednesday 132 Ethiopians who were stranded in war-torn Yemen have returned home during the last one week.

In a press statement, IOM said 96 men, 19 women and 17 unaccompanied children were evacuated on boats from the Yemeni port city of Hodeidah that is being fiercely contested by rival Yemeni warring sides.

The IOM said the migrants were transferred across the Red Sea to Djibouti where they received humanitarian and medical support before being transported to Ethiopia.

Every year, thousands of Ethiopians looking for better economic opportunities abroad are estimated to have trafficked through Somalia, Djibouti and the Red Sea to reach the Arabian Peninsula.

Ethiopian migrants in Yemen reportedly face constant abuses, including arbitrary detention, rape and forced labor.
