A Somali girl sits on a truck transferring survivors of a capsized boat to a refugee reception center in the southern Yemeni town of Ahwar September 24, 2008. Yemeni officials said five women and a child drowned after the boat, carrying around 120 people capsized off Yemen's southern coast 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)
