A vessel carrying more than 300 migrants has capsized off the coast of Djibouti in east Africa, leaving at least 139 people dead, including children, the International Organization for Migration said on Sunday.
This figure only accounts for those buried by Djibouti authorities. Speaking to the AP by phone, Alexandre Coissac, IOM Chief of Mission in Djibouti, said others buried by fellow migrants will not be added to the official count until authorities can verify the bodies.
