The International Organization for Migration says at least 109 migrants died when boats capsized off the coast of Djibouti. Fifteen of the victims were children.
At least 109 migrants, including 15 children, have died after boats capsized off the coast of Djibouti in East Africa. The International Organization for Migration (IOM), which works on migration issues and assistance to migrants, announced the figure on Sunday.
This is all the source confirms for now. The organization's statement gives the death toll as at least 109, so the final number of victims may change. No further details about the circumstances or causes of the capsizing were provided.
