Over 20 African migrants died and many remain missing after a smuggling boat carrying around 150 people capsized off Yemen’s Abyan coast late Saturday due to strong winds.

Bodies were found along the shores of Shaqra and Zinjibar, while 12 survivors were taken to hospital. Most victims are believed to be Ethiopian, according to Xinhua.

Rescue teams continue searching, as authorities urge international help to address the ongoing flow of dangerous migrant crossings through Yemen.
