The International Organisation for Migration (IOM) says at least 109 migrants, including 15 children, have died and more than 116 remain missing after a boat carrying 305 people capsized off Djibouti.
The boat was travelling from Djibouti to Yemen when it capsized near Guhere, north of Obock, during the night of October 8 to 9.
Djiboutian authorities are continuing search and rescue operations amid fears for those still missing.
Survivors are receiving medical care, while authorities are arranging dignified burials for those who died.
