The International Organisation for Migration (IOM) reported that about 43 migrants have drowned after 2 boats capsized off the coast of Djibouti.
The Organisation had recovered 28 bodies. But the IOM spokesman, Joel Millman, said in a statement, "We are expecting the death rate to be greater than that."
According to the IOM, more than 130 migrants were on the boats when the boats capsized on Tuesday off Godoria, in the north-east of the small Horn of Africa nation.
However, the IOM, said that Djibouti is a major route for migration, and thousands of migrants used it as voyage to Arabian Peninsula.
