BOAT ACCIDENT OFF DJIBOUTI
CAPE TOWN, Aug 19 (Bernama-dpa) -- More than 35 migrants may have died in the Gulf of Aden after a shipwreck in Godoria, near the coastal town of Obock, north-east of Djibouti, according to the International Organisation for Migration (IOM), reported dpa news agency. The vessel had about 60 migrants on board when it was shipwrecked on Thursday evening. So far, 26 people have been rescued and 11 bodies recovered, the IOM said. More than 24 migrants are missing. The search continued on Friday but the death toll is likely to be far higher, given the risks, according to the IOM.
