At least 68 migrants have died after a boat with about 157 people on board sank off the coast of Yemen in bad weather.
The vessel capsized off Yemen’s southern province of Abyan on Sunday, the Yemen chief for the International Organization for Migration said. He added 12 people had been rescued, but dozens were unaccounted for.
Most of the victims are believed to be Ethiopian nationals, said the IOM.
Yemen is a major pathway for migrants from the Horn of Africa travelling to Gulf states in search of work.
