Human Rights Watch claims hundreds of people have been killed trying to enter Saudi Arabia from rugged border region

She added: “We have factually demonstrated that the abuses are widespread and systematic, and may amount to a crime against humanity.”

Many of the estimated 750,000 Ethiopians in Saudi Arabia – of whom 450,000 are illegal migrants – have travelled along this dangerous route. Last year the Saudi and Ethiopian governments agreed to repatriate 100,000 Ethiopians Human Rights Watch has recorded migrant deaths at the Yemeni-Saudi border since 2014, but said the killings documented in the report appear to have escalated from “an apparent practice of occasional shootings and mass detentions” to a deliberate large-scale government policy.
