At least two people are confirmed dead and 186 others are missing after four boats carrying migrants from Africa capsized off Yemen and Djibouti, according to the United Nations migration agency.
The International Organization for Migration reported that 181 migrants and five Yemeni crew members remain unaccounted for following the incident.
The IOM stated that strong winds caused the boats to capsize near Djibouti's beach, and hundreds of thousands attempt this crossing each year.
Over the past decade, at least 2,082 migrants have disappeared along the route, including 693 known to have drowned, according to the IOM.
