The death toll from a capsized boat carrying Rohingya migrants from Myanmar rose to 26 on Tuesday, after rescuers in Thailand and Malaysia recovered more bodies at sea.
The Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency said rescuers found another survivor and recovered eight more bodies on Tuesday off northern Langkawi island, close to the Thailand border. This brought its total to 20 deaths comprising seven men, nine women and four children, and 14 survivors, it said.
