The fluidity of migration along the Eastern route, from the Horn of Africa to the Arabian Peninsula, continued to be a common phenomenon in 2019. High volumes of migrants faced significant risks when crossing the Gulf of Aden from the Horn of Africa to Yemen and onward to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). These flows are mixed in nature in which different categories of migrants including refugees, economic migrants and other types of migrants move along the same route.
