SANA'A, April 27 (Saba) - The security authorities in Hodeida province have begun investigating the incident in which several Yemeni people were burnt by the Saudi police while trying crossing into the Saudi lands.

Some of these people, who were seriously injured, were sent to hospitals in Sana'a and others are receiving treatment in Hodeida's hospitals.

Meanwhile, the Yemeni authorities are considering contacting with the Saudi Authorities to find facts about the incident.

About 25 Yemenis were burnt when the Saudi police poured diesel into a hole they hid in and set fire in it.

The Yemenis dug a hole underground as a resort in case of being discovered and after that they went on trying to cross the border with Saudi Arabia.

when Saudi security discovered them, they ran into the hole  where the incident took place.

They thought they were safe but were surprised when the police poured diesel and set fire in the hole.

Many Yemenis usually try to cross the borders with Yemen's neighbor Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to escape bad economic conditions and seeking livelihoods in the rich-oil country.
